The "Is this a fair trade?" thread

[Seasonal]

Well, Zebra then Dogtag Moondog. The Sunjewel is simply more in demand than the Dogtag but the dogtag is rarer.

The Banana is rarer than the Dogtag but isn't in demand as much as the Dogtag. Statistically there should be less bananas than Dogtag moons.

I joined way back in October of '08 and got a few pets then, but was having problems with my internet and strayed away, I have finally found my way back and now I have a Skeleton dog from Halloween '08 and I've got someone wanting to trade for it, I really have no idea what is fair or not, so here is a list of everything being offered so far, it's a very long list, but mostly newer or common items, so not sure what to do...

Help would be greatly appreciated, I really have no idea what I should be asking for it!

That's more quantity that quality. D: I personally wouldn't accept so many uncommons or commons for that dog. I traded mine for a couple good rares.

so then it would take a few rares for the halloween 08 dog? It's all so confusing to me because I have no idea what's more rare and popular and what things are worth. I would have thought that one rare would equal one rare!

Usually that is what people would think. But you want to learn what is desired, for that plays into the value by demand. Also, usually, the older the pet is, the more it can weigh in value even if it is only marked rare. Like your Pup, only rare but worth more than just one rare. ^.^ Due to its value and the demand on it. Utilize this board right here a lot until you start to get a hold of it, people usually love to help and are honest.

The rarity system is pretty vague - the designation 'Rare' covers a wide range of values, and I believe the Skeleton PPS is at the high end of that range, almost a Very Rare. On top of that, a lot of people want it, so you could definitely get a couple of rare pets for it. Most of the pets in that offer could be found in Free Adoptions. At least they're offering a lot of pets you don't have, but you could get much better pets for that dog. :3

Is this fair?
Them: all-white guinea pig
Me: 2 middle-stage Valentine's shima kittenthings and pink valentines dog

What should I remove from my side to make this fair? Thank you!


The G-pig is uncommon and the store pets are listed very rare, if that helps at all. (Yay, they got their rarities! They're big pets now! XD)

Is a very rare yellow spider and a devil PPS for a white dragon fair?
Or is a set of new store dogs for spider better?
