• i personally value uncommons the same no matter the date (same with omgsc-common) but, i know some people follow the 2:1 rule and i never want to make an unfair trade if the pet i'm offering on is more valuable than the ones i offered.
(ex. 2017 uncommon = 2024 uncommon; 2016 omgsc = 2023 omgsc)
• so, I was curious to know if the 2:1 rule (ex. 2 2023 uncommons = 1 2013 uncommon) should apply because one of the pets are a 2013 uncommon?
• same question for the extremely common 2017 pet!
(ex. 2 2023 extremely commons = 1 2017 extremely common)
• thank you in advance to anyone who might have an idea of how to go about this! thank you again! ^_^

If you use the “2:1 rule”, then values double every year. So 1 ‘13 UC = 2 ‘14 UC = 4 ‘15 UC = 8 ‘16 UC, etc. I personally don’t recommend that method, because a pet’s rarity doesn’t actually double every year and most people don’t *actually* trade like that. Since the rarity update, some people have moved to a “3 year rule” where pets within 3 years can swap fairly.

If you use the 2:1 rule, then it’s VERY unfair to them. If you use the 3 year rule, there’s not a set rule about how much needs to be added for pets with a gap bigger than 3 years. It’s really up to you and your trading partner to determine what seems fair to you.

Personally, as someone who uses the 3 year rule, I’m on the fence. My first reaction was that your side feels a little high. But ‘13 vs ‘23 is quite a big gap, so I don’t know. A lot depends on how much you want the pets they’re offering.

☆ all according to horror's guide:
• the robo cat itself is worth around 250-350C$
• the 5 commons together are worth 5C$-10C$ (1-2C$ each)
• the 3 uncommons together are worth 3C$-9C$ (1-3C$ each)
• the 1 very uncommon is worth 1-5C$ (i personally value it 3-4C$)
• the 1 rare is worth 10-15C$

= the total value for them all is 269-389C$ (lowest price to highest price according to horror's guide)
• the C$ offer in the trade is still a good offer i personally think!

Is this fair? I've been told before that the foxes have very high demand, so I'm leaning no, but I don't know if the rare they offered also has some special demand or something

the fae foxes are valued anywhere from .1-.5 MAs (1-5 old rares). the 2018 rare they’re offering doesn’t have any special demand from what i know. so, yes, this would be unfair to you.

This would be overpay from your side. Their side is 10MA and yours is 11.2MA.

To make it fair, I'd suggest removing both store pets from 2018 (2x0.3MA) and 3 store pets from 2020/2021 (3x0.2MA).

their side: ur cookie/aussie (1n)
your side: nonballoon (0.5n), td shima lt (4ma), 2016 flying rainbow dog (0.5ma), sitting cats (3 old rares each), 2020 store pets (2 old rares each), and 2021-2022 stores (1 old rare each)

rarity wise, you are overpaying - the nonballoon, td shima lt, flying rainbow dog, and another 0.5ma worth pet would suffice. demand wise, i'm not sure.

edit: info found here

This is an edited version of a trade they sent me for 8 of my VUCs, which had 16 UC and below pets and no EUC on their side. They canceled saying I was asking for overpay? I though I was asking for less than what VUCs usually go for but I could be wrong.
