The answer is…it depends. In you use the old “2:1 rule” for years, then it’s unfair to you. But that rule didn’t make sense before the rariry change, and it makes less sense now. Some people have started using a “3 year rule” where same pets within 3 years can swap fairly. However, you’re looking at a bigger age gap here. Personally, I think a 2 rarity jump more than makes up for the age gap and I wouldn’t hesitate to accept (if you want the pet), but that’s just me. A lot depends on how you personally value year gaps.

the joker bun is worth 1 non.
the gryphon dog, seahorse, and carousel zebra are all worth 2 MAs (so 6 MAs in total) and the cheshire cat is worth .25-.5 non (4-7 MAs).

i’d say it’s pretty fair as 1 non is worth 10-12 MAs and your side adds up to 10-13 MAs (depending on how much you value the cheshire at).

Could I get some opinion(s) on this please?

looking for some help on some more (rare, not list) expensive leaning trades please.

09 malks for quantity (I am only looking for the 2017 pets and later, the older pets would go straight back into trade fodder if that makes a difference)

mostly asking if the rare swaps are about the same in terms of trading interest?

deeply appreciate any insight ^^

Hello! Can I get an opinion on this please?

Still need some advice, please!

hi! this is VERY unfair to you. the gray malk dragon can go from 3 MA or .25 non to the most i've seen, though it was awhile ago, was .5 non. unless i missed something with the items, none of them will make up the value gap.

hey sorry i dont know much about items, could use some help on this trade here (,:

Hi ! this is a huge trade with a bunch of high value pets... opinions ?

It feels one-sided/unfair to you... mostly because your side has a lot more high-value pets than theirs. Here's some of the totals I added, and I didn't even start to count up your regular R/VRs.

May Lioness = 1 MA
'12 Store Unicorns/Kirins (x2) = 2 MA
9 '09 VR + 2 '09 ER = 18 + 2 '09 ER = 2-3 MA? (If 1 MA = 6-9 '09 R)
11 '10 R = 0,5-1 MA? (0,5 if using 2:1 Rule)
11 '11 R = 0,5 MA? (<0,5 if using 2:1 rule)
--- 5,5-7ish MA total

Card Dog = 0,5 MA
Snowflake Lion = 1 MA
July Lioness = 3 MA
'13 Alpaca = 1 MA
'Grown Manticore = 0,5 MA
'15 Store Deer = 1 MA
'16 Dinosaurs (x2) = 2 MA
Grown Cheetah (x2) = 1 MA
Cheetah PPS = 1 MA
--- 11 MA total so far

This is very unfair to the other party. The pps Dragoncat goes for .5- 1 Non (1 non being 100 09 rares) and the pps griffon goes for .5-1 MA (3-9 09 rares)
