    I'm not an expert by any means, but to my knowledge BD pet value has absolutely tanked. 2400 HSD+ pets sell for < $30 now, and with faerie quest cookies giving stats every day on top of the cupcake thing having worked for a long time, high stat pets are a lot more common these days. It's really depressing, but I would only expect a pretty low tier UC, if anything. I'm a BD pet person so I hate that it's gotten to this point

    You should be able to get at least t3/4, higher if it's a name someone likes--saw a few people in the past three weeks or so seeking 2k+ bds for bn(? don't fully remember, wasn't vwn) t5 pets but looking for specific stuff like feminine names. BD trading is a patience game so don't trade for the first shitty uc offer you get.

    /~Trelm is still fairly useful as a reference, probably add around 500hsd to each range to adjust for deflation, and /~ofu has a database of recent bd trades to reference.

    EDIT: Prices on here don't always match up to trading value on neo. A lot of the uc list prices don't follow tiers, same applies here.

    I agree with Wisp, definitely more patience now. The most recent BD boards I remember are that someone was looking for a 3000+ HSD pet and offering a WN UC Dari Ixi, the user mentioned they weren't name picky but unsure if they traded or not yet. Another I saw was a WN 3000+ HSD pet (untrainable, needed to up the level as hp was high) for a VWN UC Baby Kougra. There have been a few looking for BD, so keep a look out. Generally from experience, I've found users that are searching specifically for a high bd statted pet offer generally well. But if you go around offering a BD pet to trading boards, many reject as most aren't interested in BD pets. I wish the BD trading database was updated

    I don't want to be a buzzkill or a jerk here, but I definitely want to make sure you have a solid grasp on reality.

    The quantity of people who desire a high stat BD pet is probably in the low dozens. Maybe like a single dozen - seriously.

    The quantity of people who desire and could reasonably possess a high tier UC pet is in the high hundreds maybe?

    Where those people intersect is like... maybe... I don't know. Do they intersect? I'm not even sure they do. That's why CK exists.

    You can aim for anything you want and follow all these guides... But take them with a grain of salt and be prepared to spend a lot of lonely nights bumping boards by yourself until Neopets does something to make the BD valuable to its users again.

    For sure understand that, highly doubt anyone is going to take that all time trading up or spending the money to buy that high tier of a pet just to trade for a BD pet.

    What you should probably do is aim for v/wn t5/6 and trade from there, you're far more likely to find someone willing to offer one of those for a bd pet than an uc mara krawk. 2500-3000 is probably what you're looking at for the route, depending on how long it takes you. But PrettySarcastic is right, buying is a lot easier and will save you a lot of time
