"The" Rares List Guide - Do not ask about new UR's!

[Kevinsaurus]

I'm down to make a points list. I can help Noleah work on one that makes sense to me and her.

In the mean time I'll be working on the September/Advent break downs. Keep in mind this might take me a while [I work 8-5 and sometimes 8-9:30 so its a bit hard to find spare time XD] but I should have time on the weekends to get things done.

After that I know some people are looking for some short cuts up the list. I would appreciate anyone's shortcuts PMed to me. I obviously have my own as well, but solidifying some others would be good.

Also I haven't been able to fully keep up with the thread, so has anyone made any distinct changes to my gap list? If so please /PM/ me the info because I'm more liable to get it and keep it there than on the thread [where my memory is that of a goldfish after it's been fried by toddlers all day xD].

I'd definitely be interested to see how you end up working out this points list. It's not that it's necessarily a bad thing, but I think that there are different ways to approach it, with some better than others. As for shortcuts, I've got a bunch I know of so I'll message you here/skype about them sometime (the ones I have so far or that I've come across / know of) when I've got free time (super busy the next week and a half with finals). And as for gaps, I think the conversation about that sort of just died after people started talking about a points system even though we haven't even really completely finished discussing gaps. If I come across anything though I'll let you know.

On the TRT, someone said that the last fair tier swap for a BA was in 2011.

So does that mean that the Dark Leopard and the BA are not worth the same thing? I know that it is happening with the UR Tiger/Sunjewel, with one not really equaling the other. The BA's demand is crazy high- and the Dark Leopard seems to have none. Are they going to be moved?

That's certainly not true. There are still fair tier swaps for the BA and basically just about every single in-demand pet. I got my BA for just under list value after a lot of searching and some patience, and that was late 2012. The BA's in a different situation than the Tiger in that I still see fair trades for BAs but I haven't seen a single fair swap for Tigers (and I've been paying pretty close attention to all the Tigers pretty much). The dark leopard also has demand; it's not very high like other pets but it's still there. It's also quite the very rare pet and rather difficult to find if you actually start going around trying to look for ones available for trade. I don't really see why the dark leopard would need to be moved down, and as far as BAs are concerned, I believe that's part of the gaps / placement discussion that trailed off previously, where we were all waiting for input from other users to see what people thought. I personally don't think the BA needs to be moved though.

Hekomi & Noleah if you guys want any help with a points list, I'm happy to spend some time on it, just let me know what you need me to do c:


On an unrelated note, just a reminder:

Guys, the rules here are very plainly laid out. If you're not going to take the 30 seconds it takes to read them, then please don't post. It's just spam here, as there are plenty of threads which are made for the purposes of asking "what is the gap, is this fair, demand, etc."

If people post these types of questions, report them and don't answer. By answering you further clog the thread.

So will the sunback move to the coontail line or not? its kind of consfusing because the front page still is

coontail
sunback

but with the gap breakdown there is no sunback line anymore.

[DaDwarf]

Nothing has been moved yet. So that's why the front page still says that ^.^ The gap break down is still being discussed too.

[♥Sterek♥]

Okay, but would it be smart to hold on to my sunback for now? because I dont know what its worth for the place where its now than?

[DaDwarf]

Things are moved according to what happens in trading. We wouldn't move it up if it didn't already go for coon-swaps or more lol Holding it or trading it shouldn't really matter, that's completely up to you ^.^

On the topic of the sunbacks and coontails - while I do agree that the two are getting closer in value than before I have to ask - how long has it been accepted that coons go for two nons and a balloon dog? I may have just been going on outdated information but for as long as I can remember they were right about at two nons. I just hadn't ever heard more than that and while I do realize that from time to time of course they will go for more I just don't know where that started. :)

Umm hmm wow that's interesting. I didn't even notice that until you pointed that out just now. I actually have no clue. As far as I know / am concerned, every single direct / simple trade down for coontails has been 2 nons for a coontail (tag/swirl/coon) for quite a while now. Even recent trades for coontails have been for a couple non's worth, and that's even pretty good considering the slight trouble they're running into recently with getting traded off with relative ease. Don't really know where that balloon gap came from or what the reasoning behind it is, but unless it's somebody going out of their way to overpay for one, I've never really seen coontails go for that.

And as for sunbacks and coontails, people have been offering coontails as straight swaps for over a year now. I've gotten plenty of PMs / offers on mine for just a coontail or something similar many times.

Yeah I don't disagree that the sunback and coontail are about equal now I just was really confused about the balloon gap especially since if I remember right I hard from Komi not 6 months ago that the coons go for two of the lower nons like you said. :)

There is no search function. What are you guys talking about, is it a full-version thing?
I'm a mobile (always).
So I should treat it as List in trades?

There are numerous ways to search, including on mobile: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1614364
