1: Should the C$ Chart reflect trading as a whole?
I.E. If 1 Rare is 2 Extremely Uncommons, should 1 Rare be equal in C$ to 2 Extremely Uncommons? (Why or why not?)
I would love to see a trading system where the C$ values and pet values align, it just makes sense to me and I feel it is a much simpler way to trade.
2: How do you value pets in C$? (Do you go by year? Rarity? Species? All of the above? What about pets outside of C$, are they the same?)
My pets are priced based on all of the above but with most focus on rarity, species and the pet itself eg heavily edited or standard lines.
3: Do you value C$ trades as highly as pet trades? (Why or why not?)
I do value C$ but the current system where a VR is worth only 10C$ or so than a rare has never made sense to me so I tend to create my own prices.
4: In your personal opinion, is C$ hard to get your hands on? Is it hard to trade off, or does it have standard demand?
Funnily enough I used to trade lists down to old rares and sell those old rares for C$ all the time and then use the C$ to buy more lists. At the time it was claimed no one wanted to trade lists for C$ but I didn’t have a problem finding people wanting to sell their lists and bought many, from advent to high mains. It was also claimed no one wanted to trade lists down to rares unless they were offered extreme overpay so as someone who was highly valuing bulk I had a lot of interest in my pets. Back then you could get a mid advent for under 100C$ and a non or equivalent for 1050C$. I haven’t been very active on CS, other than collecting monthlies, the last couple of years but have found C$ trading very different. Since the original list shut down it seems everyone has finally caught onto the idea of trading lists down to lower rarities to sell and while C$ trading seems to be more accepted it also costs a lot more to buy anything over rare than it used to. So yes due to the fact everyone wants C$ now I think it’s both harder to get your hands on and a lot more expensive to buy the old lists than it used to be. The fact that so many people would prefer C$ or FR rather than pets shows how broken the trading system is imo.

And.. Do you think this type of trading should be recognized in any guide(s) we put up?
I always assumed people doing that were looking for hoard pets or pets for adoption centres or something? I can’t see how they’d make much profit off those low rarities. But maybe I’m wrong? Personally I don’t think we should have a guide for how much people should undervalue their pets in a bulk trade as I feel that’s up to them but don’t mind if others disagree.
