- A fair offer is a reasoned comparison, not a green or red label from one unofficial list.
- Evaluate the main pets first, then count only adds with real usefulness or demand.
- The second confirmation is a new review; never accept it from memory.
The 60-second offer check
Slow the trade down and answer six questions in order. What are the exact main pets? Can each still be obtained? Which side has stronger current demand? Do age, Fly, Ride, Neon, or Mega states differ? Are the adds useful or filler? Does the result fit your collection plan? If any answer is unclear, decline or research before reopening the offer.
| Step | Check | Stop when |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Exact names and variants | An icon or badge is unclear |
| 2 | Current availability | The seller relies on an undated claim |
| 3 | Demand and recent offers | Only one value source supports the claim |
| 4 | Meaningful adds | Quantity is used to hide low demand |
| 5 | Personal goal | Pressure replaces your plan |
| 6 | Second confirmation | Anything changed |
Separate the main offer from filler
Identify the one or two items carrying most of each side's demand. Compare those first. Then add only items you would keep, use in a project, or can reasonably trade. Ten unwanted items do not automatically balance one high-demand pet.
Age can be meaningful when it removes work from a Neon project. Potion and Neon states can also change the exact asset. None of these has one fixed premium that applies equally to every base pet, so compare the whole variant and its audience.
Choose between hold, accept, and decline
Accept when the exact in-window exchange meets your goal and you understand the trade-off. Hold when you need to compare recent offers or verify availability. Decline immediately when the exchange requires outside payment, another game, trust, a link, account access, or a promise after confirmation.
- You do not owe anyone an instant decision.
- A countdown created by another trader is not evidence of value.
- A missed offer is safer than an exchange you do not understand.
Use the official safety tools
Complete the Safety Hub quiz for the Trade License, use the two-stage system as intended, and review trade history when reporting suspicious activity. Official guidance says the license provides higher-rarity trading, 30 days of history, and in-game scam reports, while voluntarily traded pets are not returned.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if an Adopt Me trade is fair?
Compare exact pets, current availability, demand, age and variants, meaningful adds, and your own goal. Use several recent observations and re-check the complete second confirmation.
Should I accept a big offer with many adds?
Not based on item count alone. Identify the main value and count only adds that have real use or demand for you.
What should I do if a trader rushes me?
Pause or decline. Pressure is a reason to inspect more carefully, and you never need to accept an offer before you understand every item.
