Yeah, but they only rereleased store pets in 2010 on a special occasion, I have some liontails that were released on the 18th of 2010 and I had another store pet I traded which was not a cerberus and was rereleased on 2010, but they have said that they will not rerelease store pets like that again so in theory, their rarity will still go up since other pets will keep being rereleased and store pets won't.

Still, if you'd like to know how high or low the demand is for a certain pet, please use the "How much is this pet worth?" thread which will tell you what it's going for at the moment.

Is it true that people will pay re-releases (on the list) and low advents just to get a true date form of said list pet?

Some people do, some people dont. I personally dont, as ifeel like rereleases are worth exactly the same as true-dates. People who overpay for true dates try to underpay for rereleases most often.

So dont get yer hopes up and try to trade yer truedates for profit, it wont work. Most people refuse to overpay.

There is allot more.

- Supply (rarity and rarity change dates)
- Demand (popularity among those that can afford them)
- Circulation (the reason UR Mint auctions aren't working - they don't circulate well)
- Comparison to appropriate pets (avoid comparing to the BA or Joker in particular)
- Hoarders (they affect both supply and demand, but you need enough serious ones)

I have a question ^.^

So, I know the Blue Snowflake Dog is on the lowest tier of the advent list, and it's only a rare.
Image


But there are many more very rares that aren't on the list, like say the August PPS.
Image
And the Easter '09s that are very rare and such.

But if the rare is on the List while there are very rares (which means there are fewer in circulation) that aren't on the list, how does that make sense if the rare is worth more than the very rare?
Spirit10 and I are partners, we use the same internet!!

Good Omens.

that is all.

Here's something I posted when the rarity system was changed:

Years still matter in the sense that the older a pet is, the more likely that it's in a "forever home," and as such, the more likely that less are in circulation ^__^

As an example with random numbers: If there are 9000 of a rare pet from 2009 and 9000 of a rare pet from 2012, then technically, they're worth exactly the same. However, since the 2009 pet has been around longer, it's more likely that a lot of those 2009 pets are in "forever homes" compared to the 2012 pets. As such, even though there may be the same number of those pets on the site, there will probably be less of the 2009 pet in circulation, so it's worth more.

(gah, grammar fail D: )


So in the case of the August Lion PPS and the Scarf Dogs from 08, the scarf dogs have been around for a heck of a long time (four years!), so it's more likely that the majority of them are in "forever homes" (and thus, NOT in circulation); the lion, on the other hand, has been around for less than half a year, so it's less likely that most of them are in "forever homes" (and thus, there are probably more in circulation out there).
Spread the word to end the word, because discrimination based on perceived or actual IQ/"intelligence" is no better than discrimination based on race, gender, etc.

Context, consistency, and clear antecedents are golden.
I neither read nor speak between the lines. But I will analyze your language.
