Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) It's been all over the place in my experience. I had one up for trade the other day, and I was offered anywhere from 4 new release hatchies (plus extras) to low gen Metallics. Other people want two CB Springs *shrugs* The only advice that I can offer, is to ask what you want for a day or so, and if a trade is not offered, to lower your expectations a little. Edit: I have another in my possession, and I'm just reviewing options before I actually put it up for trade (if I don't gift it first ) Edited June 4, 2012 by CDM Share this post Link to post
Posted June 5, 2012 What can I get for nightglory/dayglory egg? A gender swap would probably be the best, but if you can hatch it, a 2nd gen Pink? Share this post Link to post
Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Are CB Silvers and CB Golds worth the same, or are Golds really rarer? I've always considered them of equal worth but I'm increasingly seeing offers where people are asking, say, 2 CB Silvers for 1 CB Gold or trading 2 Neglecteds for a CB Gold and only 1:1 for CB Silvers. Is there an actual rarity difference, or are Golds just more desirable because of their more polished sprite, or are these trades I'm seeing abnormal and not reflective of the normal trading standard?

I think golds have been raising a little bit in price in comparison to neglecteds and silvers. Although I do not think that they are becoming even more rare in the cave than they currently are.

Is there an actual rarity difference, or are Golds just more desirable because of their more polished sprite, or are these trades I'm seeing abnormal and not reflective of the normal trading standard? The cave seems to go through odd periods where Golds seem a bit more available than Silver. But, IME, Golds actually are more rare than Silvers. In regard to trading, I would guess that Golds edge out Silvers because of the following: - Small level of higher rarity - Increased competition for them - Perception based on the general, real world idea that gold is more valuable than silver There are always going to be people who value one over the other based on personal taste, and you will see some people trading a CB Gold to get a CB Silver (I've done it before when I had to have a Silver for something). But, on the whole, Golds will generally be worth more in the DC economy. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 12, 2012 What a wonderful idea! I was so lost I was trying to breed a pink as a gift for a sick friend (her username on dragoncave is Anettesb) who just got out of the hospital, but the dragons didn't cooperate and I ended up with 2 purples and a full scroll. My question is, what is a fair trade for the 2 purple eggs? Would I be asking too much if I asked for a seasonal or a rare (Ice, Magma, Silver, Tinsel)? Share this post Link to post

My question is, what is a fair trade for the 2 purple eggs? Would I be asking too much if I asked for a seasonal or a rare (Ice, Magma, Silver, Tinsel)? The two purples have really long and messy (possibly inbred) lineages, so they're pretty much worth nothing as purples are commons.... unless you find someone that doesn't care about lineages and wants them for fertility or something.

Posted June 12, 2012 ... -random post- What exactly is the value of a "CB" Vampire these days? Because you almost never see the vamps these days with the ratios, but no one ever seems to think they're a fair trade for anything. Share this post Link to post

The seasonal egg I get could be messy too. Wouldn't that make it fair? They do have the fertility BSA after all. What about a female duo hatchling or a vine egg/hatchling? I snagged their parents for their BSA and didn't care about their history. I'm guessing that's important? Edited June 13, 2012 by JBluewind Share this post Link to post
Posted June 13, 2012 I snagged their parents for their BSA and didn't care about their history. I'm guessing that's important? A lot of people on Dragcave care about the dragon's lineage. It's actually a huge part of the game. (to be fair, some don't, but I wouldn't count them as many) Messy and inbred lineages are generally unwanted. Share this post Link to post

Posted June 13, 2012 Well, this one has a really pretty one I think. What would it be worth? http://dragcave.net/lineage/LCPFK It's a tinsel fail, and yes it's pretty. It's a common hatchling though and fairly long. Not sure it would be worth much but you might be able to get a CB common for it...? Not sure exactly what tinselfails go for to be honest, since I personally don't have any interest in them. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 13, 2012 What are CB luminas and tsunamis going for at the moment? I had a quick look in the trading forum but couldn't find much that helped. And how about 2nd gens? I've been pretty absent from the cave since the release so I haven't really seen how they've been dropping. Share this post Link to post

Posted June 13, 2012 I wanted to trade a friend of mine, but im not sure what to offer D: Sorta don't wanna offer to low and get her mad so my question is, what are these guys worth? http://dragcave.net/lineage/J6dkG http://dragcave.net/lineage/VssdD Thanks Share this post Link to post

For either one of those I'd think a cb hatchie or two, a nice midrange tinsel, or a nicely lineaged egg would be a fair trade. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Okay! After getting a little more familiar with trading, I've learned that... 1. CB is important and worth more 2. People like pretty lineages (worth more) 3. Messy lineages or inbreeding take value away. 4. Hatchlings are worth more than eggs Anyway, I have a very cool vamp I am trying to figure out how much I can ask for. I will wait a few more hours to trade it as a hatchling. I was going to keep it for myself, but since I know what it's worth now, I'm going to trade it. CB egg, 5th gen, influenced male vamp http://dragcave.net/lineage/PDkba bitten by a CB http://dragcave.net/lineage/AMe7 who was bitten by the descendent of a bright pink and gold http://dragcave.net/lineage/2jGG who was bitten by a dragon with an interesting lineage http://dragcave.net/lineage/BVZ4 I also have a 2nd vamp dragon egg that I thought had an interesting lineage because it had frilled and bright pinks as some of its ancestors as well as a gold and a silver. http://dragcave.net/lineage/VvYnu Again, I'm gonna wait until it is a hatchling to trade. I would probably be looking for multiple eggs for the first one since it's so cool. Here are the eggs/hatchlings I am looking for atm. Maybe yall can help me figure out what each vamp is worth. Seasonal Ice Magma Thunder Gold Silver Tinsel Vine alt Black alt Lumina with the Turps tint Purple/pink/red/magi hatchlings I would also be interested in day glory drake hatchling, nebula hatchling, red dorsal hatchling, pale ridgewing hatchling, or a female split. So... what from this list/combo from this list would be a fair asking price? I don't want to goof and ask to much. Edited June 13, 2012 by JBluewind Share this post Link to post
