"Is this a fair trade?"

It can be tough to know when you are getting a good deal. Luckily, this is a place where you can ask fellow players for their opinions on your trades. Or, for the experienced players out there, you can lend a hand to help others understand what they've been offered.

COPPA members are encouraged to send a help ticket for advice on trades.
Regular members should only ask here.

This thread is owned by, and will only be reposted by staff.

Hello, is this fair? Would it be fair if I offered the full store pet set without the horse?



"I *believe* '21 store pets are considered to be valued at a '10 rare each. (I personally tend to value store pets higher than "official" values.) Plus, store pets have good demand, while demand for spiders isn't great (I don't believe this one has any special demand, but feel free to get a second opinion.) Personally, I'd offer two of the store pets *at most.*"



Thank you!  Could I get a second opinion on this please?

I'm not fully sure about the demand of the animal eggs, but from I can remember their demand was always a little bit better than other items.
I've seen the 2010 animal eggs getting a 2010 rare in old rarity terms; which would be a rare-very rare after the rehaul.
so technically this trade is over on their side, however it's mainly rats which makes the trade trickier.
all in all it depends on what you personally prefer.



first trade: unless I missed something, both pets equal a low advent, or 0.5 ma
thus the items wouldn't be neccessary. however, the demand of the sitting cat is significant better than the rainbow draft.
personal preference I'd say.

second trade: slightly unfair to them
the uncommon chameleon isn't necessary, as a 2017 very uncommon = a 2018 extremely uncommon and the fish is a straight swap for the guinea pig.

unfair to you
a recent's year store pet is worth a early 2011 rare-very rare, and their side isn't offering even close value.

a 2023 store pet is worth a 2011 rare, which their side doesn’t add up to, so i’d say this is unfair to you.
