your pps doggo is from march 2016, per the C$ Chart, a 2016 R is worth 15-20C$

their side:
2014 EUC - 6-8C$
2021 R - 7-10C$
= 13 - 18c$

up to you!

--------------------------------------------------------------------




going based off C$ Chart value, a 2010 VR is worth 50-70C$ , while a 2009 R is worth 40-50C$

this was fair if you valued both pets at 50c$

just by looking at the red cloth is unfair. per the list item thread, the red cloth is worth .25nons or 3 - 4 ma (30 to 40 old rares) ... another list item i see is the jester outfit worth .5ma or 5 old rares, the tomato monsters at 1 old rare each

therye only offering 6 old rares total ... extremely unfair to you and your items

Though technically this seem fair (both dogs are 1 MA afaik), but! How's the demand on a RR Purple Star Bobtail compared to a TD Brown Spotted Cookie? Which one would be easier or harder to trade later? Are RRs valued the same as TDs?

T5 Line Line 7, their RR is 1ma while your TD is 1.5ma
I would have them add on their side to be fair. .5ma or 5 old rares would add up to 1.5ma
TD pets have higher demand

Your side:
Red toxic: 1000-1300C$

Their total: 1.3k-1450c$
Your total: 1000-1300C$

This is a fair trade, though I'd note the demand of your pet vs. theirs. Ik the grinners don't have as much demand & I think the toxic has more demand than both hollies. If they're WL pets I'd do it, otherwise if it's fodder I'd maybe think about it or see if they can offer something of equivalent value that has a bit more demand? Up to you though!

09 R: 40-50C$

2024 R: 5-8C$ x4 | 20-32 c$

Their total: 40-50C$
Your total: 37-56 c$

I'd say this is within the fair range if you'd like to do this trade ^^

Does anyone know what this pet is currently trading for? I know the demand is pretty high, and I’ve seen a few successful C$ trades for 200-250 C$, but I haven’t seen many pet trades. I see the Pets with Confusing Worth thread also says it’s maybe ~0.3MA - 0.65MA. Would love some advice so that I can offer fair trades.


Well like you said, it does go for around that worth & the thread lists some successful pet trades with that pet involved. Noting that the first one is an outlier/a bit of overpay on their end from what I'm gathering.

That may not be as helpful, but what I can do is help tell you what you could get with the equivalent of 200-250 C$//that dragon's worth.

- You could get some stores pets (depending on what year, anyway. You could go for an older 1 I'm sure).
- 2008/2009 VRs are 100c$ each, so there's an option there. Likely 2008-2012 VRs depending on what you're wanting.
- In rares, you could do a decent bulk trade. 2008/2009 is worth 40-50C$, 2010-2011 is 25-35C$, etc. You can take a look here to get more of an idea of the range of stuff you could get with the dragon.
- You may also be able to get something on the list depending on what tier you're going for (definitely in the rerelease area though)

Idk if any of that is helpful, if not then I'm sorry since that's the best that I could do 😭

would like some help with calculating the values in C$ for these items if possible

i know that the orange butterfly wings are from the store (extra parts + markings pg1) and are 4C$ each but are not limited. the speech bubbles, lead, bowls and chicken o's are i believe free items, im thinking of not requesting C$ for those and instead viewing them as free add-ons instead. any advice on this and possibly help with how much C$ could be asked in return for the rest?

thanks in advance!


Hums. Ty so much in advance for tracking down the value of those items btw! It helps out a LOT and saves time having to dig them up ourselves <333

I'll say right now the hamsters are a 1:1 from the same litter as it is but I'm assuming you're both trying to actively work out a trade that's fair on both sides.

Flower field & bunny craft is from 2024 easter
Contacts & boba drinks are from valentine's 2021
Steampunk dress is halloween 2024
Gummy worms are halloween 2022
Presents are Valentines 2019
Texts are from the cave event 2021 (this one was avoiding me like the plague heh)

The general rule of thumb that I've seen is the items are valued at a UC-EUC of the year they came out if they're older or have more demand. Since these aren't too old and don't have any special demand, I'll be calculating them as a C-UC.

C: 0.5-2C$ x17 | 8.5-34 c$
UC: 1-3C$ x17 | 17-51

Total: 8.5-51 c$.

Up to you what you want to calculate them as but I'd personally stick to the common end (aside from maybe the background & steampunk dress, you could go for the UC value of those I'd think?)

As far as any other advice.. if you don't want c$ then I'd check out Horror's guide and see what you could ask that is within that range pet-wise. ^^

Trade 1 wrote:Hehe hello again! <333 Let me see what I can do.

I couldn't find all of the items in the archives so I apologize. If anyone else knows and would like to chip in or dm me, let me know and I'll adjust this accordingly! <3. Items tend to go for a UC-EUC of their respective year if they're older though so I'll be applying that in this case.

Their side:
Wizard staff is from 2011 medieval faire
Dreidle necklace is from 2009 hanukah
Mini tree blue is christmas 2011
UC: 1-3C$
2009 EUC: approx. 10-12 c$ based off the pattern on Horror's chart.
2011 EUC: 8-10C$ x2 | 16-20 c$

Your side:
Animal eggs (2018)
2011 mummy costume
Lips are from 2012
Pumpkin eye 4 is 2009 halloween
UC: 1-3C$
2009 EUC: 10-12 c$
2011 EUC: 8-10C$
2012 EUC: 6-8C$
2018 EUC: x2 4-5C$ | 8-10 c$


Their total w/just UC: 14-42c$ ||| Their total with EUC: 26-32 c$
Your total w/just UC: 5-15c$ ||| Your total with EUC: 32-40 c$

Tbh I'd go more on the EUC side since that seems a bit more even. I'm going to assume the other items that they have added do have a good chunk of value on their end, so I'll tentatively say that this is fair. They may be overpaying a bit since I was only able to calculate a few of their items but yeah. I hope this helps somewhat 😭


Trade 2 wrote:Their side:
(not factoring in the unknown bunny in this since we don't know their rarity yet)
UC: 1-3C$ x2
VUC: 1-5C$
2021 VR: 20C$

2012 EUC: 6-8C$
2015 R: 15-20C$
2018 R: 10-15C$
2022 EUC: 3-4C$
2024 EUC: 3-4C$

Their total: 22-28C$
Your total: 37-51C$

You're overpaying on your end tbh. You could probably remove a rare and maybe a EUC to make it more even on your side ^^
