I need some help determining the value of these offers from my auction! Valuing the Sakura at 2MA, thank you!

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!

Hi! I sent through bid 2 so forgive me if there is a bit of bias here. However, I believe my bid is around 2 MA, no? Using Horror's list:

The PPS horse is true date so would be around 0.75 MA rather than 0.5 MA.
The two '09 VRs would be about 0.25 MA each (or 2.5 old rares), so 0.5 MA total.
The '10/'11 rares would be 0.5 MA total.
The VR koi would be 0.2 MA/2 old rares.
Then the store would be 0.1 MA/1 old rare.

So total would be around 2 MA, if I'm not mistaken, not taking into account the C$. Again, I am the one that sent the bid so apologies if there is any sort of bias but I am quite confident in my maths 😅

heyo!! sorry, you're correct! I said 100 c$, but combined you would be correct in the ma part ^^" and my apologies, I missed the true date part! so yes, your side does equal around 2ma! most people do value true dates the same as re-releases, especially low demand species.

I’m not the best at item trades but I was wondering if this is fair.

With the demand of animal eggs counteracting the low demand of items, i would value these at a rare from their year for ones this old as banner pets from their year would be roughly a rare in value.
This means each animal egg is a 2011 rare. A 2011 rare is valued at 25-35 C$, so your eggs are 100-140 C$, so very unfair to you imo ❤️

Hi! I am unable to open the link, just make sure you're clicking the bottom link. If you did use the bottom link, just make sure you have the whole link? It's not coming up as an actual link at all so maybe some characters are missing !

Is this fair? Note I already have the cat, so it would be for trade fodder.

I believe they're overpaying with the years, I would put your side up to a 2019 rare at most. Their cat also has decent demand so it easily fetches it's worth /maybe overpay if someone is looking for it for their collection

Right! I guess it depends if the auctioneer values the TD to be higher or not.

Hello I have recently gotten back into CS and I am very unsure how to judge this trade,

I myself haven't traded rares due to its demand and pressure when trading unfairly so its always been a touchy place for me.

This is the trade here
I have been looking though guides and i want to get an outside opinion here.
Thank you for the help!

Definitely unfair to you rarity and demand wise ❤️
Your foxes are valued at 4 old rares each (an old rare is a 2010 or 2011 rare) and the pps fox is worth 1MA (10 old rares)
This makes your side worth a total of 22 old rares, or 2.2MA
Their side is worth 8 old rares (and old very rare would equal to 2 old rares) and they're all low demand pets so would probably fetch about 5-6 old rares worth of higher demand pets.

Your pets have very good demand. This trade is incredibly unfair to you ❤️ if you need help with links for checking values etc pls let me know and I can PM you with any help you need !

I also would say maybe don't put the message about being a returning player, only because this encourages some players to try to trick you with trades like these! Not saying the person who traded is specifically scamming you, but you'd be surprised at how many people jump at an opportunity to scam a returning or new player !

Ahhh, Thank you! Its been so long I will update my trades for that reason, All i know is Store pets are high in demand and I usually follow guides like horrors and the official forums posted but they have been updated since 2016 so i appreciate the updates and would love to receive more help on future trades.
