The "Is this a fair trade?" Thread

[Wysterinka]

It's likely they ninja traded you, targeting players who they assume are unaware of the value of things by making it seem their side is very overpaid. Sorry that happened

I guess they picked the right target Very embarrassing
Thankyou so much for all your help!

You can absolutely write the other user for trade back or ask them to send you add-on

Is this fair?

referencing this chart i’d say this is a pretty fair offer, if not a little bit of overpay on their side (i calculated their pets to be worth closer to 250C$). but a lot of people don’t value rats as highly so that might be why they’re asking for less.

So, I’m curious about this.

I sent someone this trade: trades/viewtrade.php?id=109432438&userid=247366&signature=yFp5NYz7esWnpixBnUCSNA

I was under the impression that this should be fair since the warriors are 1MA each (even for true date) and the forest guardian dog is 2MA. However, they cancelled and told me that the warrior cats are worth “quite a bit more since they’re from july and august 2008 and not extended releases.”

They then sent me a link to this trade as an example of what a “fair trade” for 2 2008 warriors looks like: trades/viewtrade.php?id=109352420&userid=970675&signature=S04COLAD1Fm0xs2rWGtq3Q

Now, what they accepted for the warriors here is worth 7MA when, to my best knowledge and according to the popular trading guide, these two cats should only be worth 2MA total. I’ve done a lot of trades for warrior cats, including for true date 2008 cats, and have never seen someone expecting this much for them. Am I crazy, or is this kind of absurd?

i agree with you, the 2008 ER warriors are only worth 1 MA each (the VR and R ones worth closer to .5 MAs). i scanned some recent trades and not a single one valued the older warrior cats as above 1 MA. your first trade is fair swap and that second trade is definitely overpay.

I know lot of people who value TD higher, including myself, but warrior cats? not that high... most T7 dogs get 1.5 - 2 MA and so should these cat so if they ask for overpay for TD, it should be 4MA max for both of them. But maybe their value is somewhat sentimental and they don't wanna trade them for the pets you offer, the 7-8MA trade above is crazy over.

I agree with you. Even on the demand masterpost they're listed as 1 MA, whether TD or RR, so this person is certainly expecting too much.

i agree too. though, even if it's sentimental value, they should certainly not send someone a trade as an example and call it fair. demand masterpost says td=rr too, which i know isnt true for some people but once again, sending a trade as an example to try and convince someone of its fairness is not a standard that should be set.

From what I've been told recent store pets are worth 1 old rare each (2010-2011) so they would be overpaying

is this a fair trade? i know next to nothing about rarities in this game, i know that the tags on the pets that signal their rarity dont dictate their actual worth so im asking here
