• When sharing a trade either include pictures, a detailed message or 'share the trade' [information on this below]

Before posting your trade, please make sure you are using the correct URL. It makes this thread more organized, less busy, and simpler if you post the correct URL.
If you don’t know how to get the correct URL, here’s how you get it:

1) Go to the trade you wish to post, and view it.
2) Look for where it says Viewing a trade offer which you received/sent and find the words that look like this: [share trade]. Click on that.
3) A page with a short paragraph and white box with a URL should show up.
4) Copy the URL from the white box and paste it into your post.
5) Highlight the URL and click the underlined URL button on the dock above your writing space

Face value isn't always the case, the UR cats's even the OMG are still rated lower then a VR (Dogtag) so a rating of OMG doesn't automatically make it the "most valued"

Just like a '10 VR isn't Equal to an '08 VR.

I'm just stating not ALL rarity are created equal, please keep that in mind when giving advice.

If you are unsure of rarities, don't post. It's taken me months to get where I am. Rarities are not a simple math equation. It doesn't work like that. This thread has been getting more and more people who don't know about rarities posting in it like they do. Have enough respect for the people posting to not post and lead them astray if you DO NOT KNOW. If others who are knowledgeable in rarities have told you you need to learn them better, do that. It is not fair to give other people bad advice just because you think you know. It creates an even tougher job for the people who do know their rarities because they are constantly backtracking and fixing mistakes.

People are basing important trading decisions on your advice. People have been ripped off and led astray by others giving bad advice. It's giving people who do know their rarities more work because we have to back track and fix mistakes. Very rares do not equal two rares. Rarities don't work like that.

Please note that this is not directed at any particular person but a collective group of people who are posting bad advice. More and more people are getting ripped off and it's not fair.

Fair?

Its hard to say, the new UR doesn't have a set value yet, so it depends on you more than anything, but demand wise the raven seems to go for about a sorbet

Could RATE THESE OUT OF TEN. Not if it's fair I need a rating

Is this a fair trade?
I was told by a few users that the UR cookie was worth a BE galaxy + line tribal + blue balloon, so if that's true obviously it's unfair.
However, they don't have a blue balloon, so if it is unfair, what could they add on their side to make it fair? Would a Wolf PPS even it out?
Thank you in advance for any/all help <3 ^^

Without taking demand into consideration, I think this is a fair trade. It's a store pet set for an older retired store pet set, plus a 2009 rare. The cheetahs are very popular right now though, so you could probably get better offers on them if you did an auction or something. But again, without considering demand, I think it's fair.

-edit-
I see you edited your post, I would rate this one as 8-9/10 personally.

Is this fair? Thank you uwu

I agree with Zigzagoon. Unfair to you because the dates are a bit different and the store pps doesn't really make up for that difference, or the difference in rarity.

[Zigzagoon]

Is this fair? Thank you uwu

Unfair to you, their pets are late 2009 so don't make up to your vrare and the store cheetah is only worth a mid/late 2010. The cat on your side has some demand too.

The BEG + a blue balloon dog + a line tribal doesn't equal to a ur Aussie, rarity and demand wise.
Rarity wise a ur Aussie is worth a non + a sorbet , so it's unfair to your side by a purple toxic,
though demand wise the BEG is said to go for nons? If your valuing the beg at a non they would
need to around a red toxic.
