how does this look for my ur holo cake?
trades/viewtrade.php?id=115733527&userid=614378&signature=hLqwoiNee-Xadld53SBjtg

hello! according to the item value guide, your ur cake is worth 1.5 - 2 ma.

their side has 3 old rares, plus their 2018 store pet which is worth 3 more old rares. in total, that’s 6 old rares plus the remaining pets and items on their side which don’t really add much value to the trade. so, their side is underpay

Trades like these can be tough given that item values are much less widespread and concrete than pets. I’ve seen the holo cake be valued at as low as 1.5-2MA, and as high as 3-4 MA. Neither of these values were substantiated by more than one person, so I won’t endorse either of them.
Value wise, their side is 6 old rares (the ‘18 fluffy store dog is worth 3 old rares) + 2 2013 rares + relatively low-value add (the items are all just worth a UC from their year of release). Overall, it’s about 7 old rares, or 0.7MA worth, give or take. In those terms alone it’s pretty unfair to you - the cake is much rarer. However, valuable item trading is difficult since far fewer CS users value items that highly, or are willing to trade their valuable pet for items compared with other pets. I’d be hesitant to accept this offer myself, but that may explain the lowballing. Please get a second opinion ;v;

Hi guys, I'm sure I'm underpaying, but I'd like to know by how much, and what I might be able to add on. (The uncommon is a gift addition to the grade)

trades/viewtrade.php?id=115658087&userid=329114&signature=DbD51YugNYRnUSXpn9F0wA

The July Lioness is worth 30 old rares while your side has a rough value of 17 old rares; with a C$ value between 500-600 on their side and yours is 447-603.

Thank you so much for the response, I've sent them a new trade and was wondering if there is any input on it, I've added more and I think its now close if not over the original est.

for bid 1 -

your side = 2ma

their side =
all 09' rares together = .3-.4ma
the 10' and 12' rare together = around ~70-80(ish) c$, but spiders have pretty poor demand
(tier 6, line 5) green warrior dog. = 1ma
light grulla horse = ~70 c$
(tier 8, line 4) red ornament = ~100 c$
(tier 8, line 4) candy cane tess = ~100 c$
vixen lion = .5ma

their total = 2.8-3ma

so this is an overpay! your side tends to get decent trades due to being an old store, so valuing it around 2ma is pretty correct! all of their pets are pretty good, and ive seen the vixen lion get pretty good overpays! they're overpaying by around .8ma (or 8 old rares), but demand of the very rares can push it up to a 1ma (or 10 old rares) overpay <3

-

for bid 2 -

your side = 2ma

their side =
(tier 6, line 5) baby g-money = .5ma
triclops = ~70 c$
pink creamsicle = 100 c$
green august = 100 c$
blue kimono koi = 100 c$
all rares + 50 c$ together = ~.5ma
2024 store = 1 old rare

their total = a little over 1.5ma

so value wise this is (technically) fair, but using your values, this is an underpay! the malks on their side are pretty decent, but i haven't seen any specific overpays with them. they are pretty popular though, due to being malks!

-

for bid 3 -

your side = 2ma

their side =
(tier 4, line 4) tricolor cake dog = 2ma
i have not seen any trades with the items on their side, so please do not take my word for this! im going to put it at .1ma to play it safe, but i seriously have NO clue how much these are worth ^^"

their total = ~2.1ma (2ma for sure, but please get a 2nd opinion for the items!!)

so this is a fair trade! i do believe the cake dogs get pretty good trades, and i have seen a lot of people actively search for them! between all of the bids, bid 1 is the biggest overpay! with demand + value combined, bid 1 seems to be your best bet <3

Hello guys, I got this trade which i realized it might actually be unfair? had no idea the butterfly wolf is worth so much. How should i edit the trade to make it work out and rares from which years would be more fitted?
trades/viewtrade.php?id=115707520&userid=864607&signature=nhGcMjj6W3D1g4EHR0JeoQ

This trade was already accepted but judging by their prices the pets are priced at, i believe this was a overpay and not sure with how much? xd
trades/viewtrade.php?id=115610125

And the last trade another, it was posted two pages ago, would apreciate a lot any help :”) I cant figure out if its alright or not?

How this trade feels? I know the demand varies but in this case it involves pets from Wl.
Another thing to note is the very rare rats from 2009 which ive seen on many Wishlists and i dont know at how much they are valued. I enjoy to see the rare canines from the other side but at the same time they are all are from later years then mine. I am well aware that many of the pets which are part from different holidays such as “Wild west “can be sold for good Cs money including the advent pets from this year. I see many folks either offering a lot of Cs or selling them for that

Hey guys!

trades/viewtrade.php?id=115727869&userid=752676&signature=rb5GXeOEUjmccNWQ4krC_A

I sent a message as well:
"Hey there! I'm interested in your older Halloween pets but I don't have much that would add up to them. I was trying to find values on them versus my store pet. According to Horror's C$ guide at least, my store is about $175-200 (worth about 4 old rares) each of the old very rares are $50-70 each. Depending on what system you think works, the 2:1 (2 rares to make a very rare) works in this trade. I'm unsure if I'm overpaying or underpaying so I was going to post to the is this a good trade thread of you are interested."

I'm just looking for some advice and pointers if I did this correctly.

Unless I’m missing something, you’re doing this correctly! Their pets are normal ‘10 VRs and are thus worth 2 old rares each, adding to your store’s 4 old rares worth and thus being equal in terms of value. Some may argue that the store is more desirable than non-store pets, but with that said some people may be touchy with Halloween pets as they can be popular too. Since I assume you’re seeking these for your collection, this looks good to me!
