Hoard Discussions Thread v.7!

skelebun, hands down for me. orange cerbs as a second, but 100% the buns. probably the elemental(?) deer set, especially the water/oilspill outcome.

the bunnies are not for the rarity/value, I should clarify btw. a rabbit is my third fullbody skeletal articulation project (and first mounted taxidermy that's not study skins for the museum!) and as a collector irl of animal skulls and skeletons, the aesthetic is a massive draw. I regret every day trading my only one off years ago, especially after what I had to give up for my cerb and then hearing it's quadrupled in price from *that* and now even more expensive than it..... x_x

As someone who also had a skele bun n traded it for a grey malk dragon only for literally the next day the rarity changed n value sky rocked I was mad but it is what it is and if I could I would hoard both the cerberus I love the cerby I have a red just need the orange to have a set

lol, i think i gave mine up for a pink sorb? so not even a pet i liked, but at the time it was like still vaguely september list, or maybe balloon dog level, so it was a good deal for me, technically.

I FORGOT THE PUNK DOGS RIP

white and orange punk dogs my beloveds i am so sorry.

also these lil guys are beautiful, rip my being broke and unable to splurge back then for more u-u



I did my one and only (until recently with a 5 pet group) store pet hoard back in '13. when they were worth like a '10 rare and it was actually feasible to trade for that many. they still feel so much more recent to me now, like. "naw i did that like three years ago! (edtor's note: it was ten actually)"

I have been reading your comments about users who are opposed to hoarding, and two arguments really struck a chord with me:

[...] Most players will NEVER get a complete collection, if only for the fact that Store Pets exist. I myself literally gave up on that dream years ago and switched exclusively to hoarding; do you know HOW MANY PETS that put back into circulation?? How many pets I STILL push out because I only keep what I like and trade everything else?? I get the frustration, but no one ever seems to acknowledge these last two points. [...]

100%! It has never made sense to me to collect pets that don't appeal to me. I only keep the ones that I like best and trade off all the rest. Since my favourite species on Chicken Smoothie are butterfly wolves, bunnies and Syrian hamsters, many popular pets end up in my trade group ... and will be traded for hoards of less popular pets.

yeah, I'm at the point I just preemptively block anyone that openly hates hoarders and/or will not trade them. [...]

I don't preemptively block them, but I WILL immediately exit out of the page and put them on my personal "Non-Hoarder Friendly" List. Even if I'm not going to trade them for hoard pets, why would I want to trade with someone who has such nasty verbiage in their rules? [...]

Again, 100%! I have been blocking users for years. I don't want to deal with their unpleasantness. Even more importantly, I don't appreciate being discriminated against: I'm autistic. Hoards provide a visual stim and are a vital tool for me.

On that note, if you could hoard a past store pet, what would it be? For me it would definitely be one of the Cerberus. I like orange as a color, but red and black is one of my favorite combinations. I really like the carousel horses too and I don't have a nay duplicates of them. Or the mustelids

{ oh, the fairy rats, without question. I'm still so devastated that I was inexplicably just not buying store pets the entirety of 2013 and missed them ?? I have no idea what I was doing in 2013, I remember the slumber party event bc it's still my favorite summer event but the rest of the year ?? gone. I digress. I have a single set of the fairy rats now ofc, but if I could go back in time and buy a set every day like I did when the drink rats came out I would! however, aside from rats, I think a checkered hoard of Eat Me and Drink Me dogs would look amazing 👀 and maybe a page of pps fairy foxes! ♡

{ so hoarders, two more days for this year! what are your hoard goals for 2024? I'm just hoping at this point to get my mischief all back in one group x"D but if I'm not there yet I hope 2024 is the year I break 100k rats! ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ ♡

Finishing 100 item hoards (both collecting & actually putting them onto pets) and having 2000 finished hoards, that's all.
The item goal is harder LOL

Hi guys! I'm relatively new to hoarding, and I posted my first hoard auction a couple days ago! I'm really excited, but I wanted to get some thoughts on it? I have no idea what a possible end date should be (I assume way far out) or what an auto should be because my hoards vary so much in rarity, and I'm not sure if this looks reasonably/doable from a bidder's standpoint.

Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated!

Auction is here!

I finally reached 700 on my stages of grief horse hoard this morning! Now to go after 800 lol



did I overpay and spend higher value/stores on these guys? yep! and I was fully aware of it 😅 here's some wonderful examples I found while digging through them

Honestly, acceptance is such a gorgeous horse, you can still see the scars have healed and faded but never completely vanished, because you never forget those you cherish.

and I just found my first hoard horse which was a random pound catch 💕

Today I reached 100 on my red horned fluffy dragon hoard!
pretty big for me considering its my very first hoard and im very very new to cs
there are some others of the same litter sprinkled in, but I counted the red horned ones and they added to 101!



hoping to continue this collection, though maybe less rigorously and focus on a few new ones i plan to attempt!

[maxyjax]

Starting 2024 with 18 ongoing hoards with a couple so close to finishing!
My main thing is to collect 20 of every snake on CS I'm doing pretty good so far!

I am late to answering the question, but I think my goal for 2024 is to finally hit 1000 with these two hoards:
&
They were both originally unlimited hoards, but I think that it may be time to wrap both of them up once I hit 1000. Wild to think that I've been hoarding the second litter there for over 11 years ^^;

If I do wrap up those two hoards, it'll leave me with two unlimited hoards. I'd like to at least cross 1500 of these kittens by the end of the year, but I may move that goal further since I'm less than 300 away from that goal right now:

Excited to see all the new pets that 2024 will bring! c:
