Many creatures up for Trade

@telekinec

Hmmmm ... Do you have something equal from my wishlist ofr the Lan? Like a Pahoehoe, Snop or something like that. Or EC.
I would price one Shengxiao at around 20k ...?

telekinec • 25 March 2018 at 6:58 PM

@ninila I do have a few of your wshlists, but they aren't worth your Lan, so I'll have to trade it for EC. how much you want?

@telekinec

Hmmm okay >.> It would be fine to be to add some creatures up for the Lan, depending on which creatures you mean.
I have no idea how to price creatures, but I remmeber somebody aksed me to pay 150k for a Clast, and since the rank of a Lan is nearly twice as high, I would multiple 150k by two = 300k ... But I don't know if that is correct to calculate the price for a creature >.>

telekinec • 25 March 2018 at 7:12 PM

@ninila The Lan is seasonal and isn't old enough to be worth 300k. The Clast is from January and is retired, so both have way different price points. I would offer 50k for your Lan and that is the max I will go for it. I'm collecting them, so I already have a few and I'm not paying that much for one.

As for the rest, I've seen the creatures you have and I don't want to ruin you for one of my creatures (which is one on your wishlist)

@ninilla

If no one has already asked for them, how much would you want for the cosmomons? I have a halfway decent amount of EC and I'm willing to trade my doubles (except for the star).

@telekinec

I wish I would find a pricing Guide or something like that ... Do you think a Snop would be realistic for a Lan? You are a very old member, so I trust you on that since you seem to be very nice. If you say that this is very unlikely, I trust you and would be fine with the 50k 😊
If it would be possible, I would keep him for that, if that is okay for you >.>
But here is the trade for the Shengxiaos 😊
Trade #895473

@laurelprince

Hello! 😊
I don't meet often people who are new as me 😃 So you like Cosmomons much, if you ask for all of them? Just out of interest while I look what I could ask for them - what do you want to do with them? 😊 They mean much to me, that's why I ask 😊

@ninila Here is an excerpt of an answer I sent to a friend concerning values of creatures:

A few things to consider when checking for the prices and worth of a creature :
- Check for it's rarity. That is, check their population rank (on the creatures profile through the Archives). If it's closer to one, the creature is really common. If it's closer to 657 (the current number of critters on the site total) then it's almost non-existant. For example, the Efni which is currently getting engineered and is thus non-available, which means nobody has it, is thus ranked 657 on 657.
- Check it's availability. An Available creature is less worth than a Seasonal which is less worth than an Endangered which is less worth than a Retired. You can see their availability through their creature profile on the Archives.
- Check the year they were born. Creatures from 2010 (which goes way back to the beginning of the site) are worth way more than a creature created in 2017-2018.
- Etc. Some people give mroe worth to creatures if they are born a certain date, il they evolved at a certain date and if they have little stars on them. (Star creatures are really rare and they usually are worth much more than their couterpart with no stars)

Never forget to first collect creatures based on what you like and enjoy. Participate in events when they come to gain eggs that might become rare in the future. Ask people around and just be careful about their answers. You can always check through trade and auction to see what the average is.

Oh and the difference between EC and CC... CC is worth a lot more than CC because with it you can buy Cash Shop creatures which become automatically retired at the end of the month. This means the creature will become prized in the futur. For example, if you check the Falcena and the Cloveater, not many have them. If I remember correctly Falcena is ranked 649 and Cloveater 628 which means not a lot of people came around to buy them. In the futur, they might be worth much more than the 500CC that was paid.

So don't forget to check around the website, ask people. Those that have been around for a long time will be able to help you as they've grown with the creature worth fluctuation. If you have any questions, feel free to ask again!

Thanks for telling me I'm very old xD As for a Lan vs a Snop, to be honest I don't know. I went and checked both of their page, to me both seem equal although the page states that the Lan was only available this year and the Snop is available each season. If you wish to keep your lan, just say so 😊 I already have a few on my side account. If you think you can get a better deal somewhere else keep it. You are new, so the Lan may come in handy later during another trade, that I don't mind.

@ninilla

What do i want to do with them? I'm planning on adding them to my secret Cosmomon army to take over Eggcave of course! Nah, I'm just kidding. I was looking for a good species to name after my favorite character who everyone forgets about and when I found a Cosmomon in the cave, I looked up the species in the archive and thought it would be perfect. That first Cosmomon is now my profile creature and well on his way to immortality. Since then the species has grown on me. I've always been a fan of galaxy aesthetics and cool designs, both of which are present in the Cosmomon design. So I decided to try to obtain as many as possible.

Sorry that that explanation was a bit long but I swear I'm not planning anything outright evil.

Sorry for the late reply, I had a busy day >.<

@telekinec

Thank you really much for the guideline for pricing creatures!
And I didn't mean you are old o.o I just wanted to say you are an ... long-term member of eggcave >.<
I would keep the Lan then, since you said they look nearly equal 😊 Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom with me! 😃

@laurelprince

Well, then I have a few eggs that would like to join your army! xD
Its a really cute reason, and I'm happy to meet someone else who likes the Cosmomons as much as me! How many do you want? lol
I have stopped taking them from the Cave when I get one because I have not much space left, but if you like I can sent you the ones I get from now on, until you say stop xD

telekinec • 27 March 2018 at 7:52 AM

@ninila No problem and if you ever have questions, don't hesitate 😊 and I know, I was just joking about the old thing hahaha xD

@ninila

If your two dalaharts are still up for trade, I was wondering if you'd take ec for them and if so, the amount you're looking for?
