Knowing the real value of your items in any game is important. You don’t want people to trick you with bad trades just because you don’t know how much that item is. It’s worse when you find out later and regret it the whole week.
In Pet Simulator 99, trading is an important part of the game and players often trade with each other different items for gems. Now, in this guide, we’ll show you why you shouldn’t trust the RAP values when trading in the game. Learning the actual values of items is a skill so make sure to know it!
Why You Shouldn’t Trust RAP Values & How To Trade Safely
Trading is a great way to get easy money in the game but it’s also a great way to lose money if you don’t know what you’re doing. You can easily get scammed with high prices if you don’t know how much an item is. That’s why you’ll want to use RAP the right way.
What is RAP?
So, what is RAP anyway? It’s short for “Recently Auctioned Price” and the game automatically updates each item’s price.
You can see the RAP when you hover over the item and see the price in diamonds below the item description. This works for every tradable item to the game from pets to consumables.
The game automatically gets the highest price that’s been recently auctioned off for that item. So, if someone buys something for 1 Million diamonds and it is the highest then the system shows 1 million!
Sounds like a great mechanic, right? It’s a great way to gauge how much you should buy or sell something. That would be the case in a perfect world, sadly we’re not in such a world.
RAP Manipulation
Some nefarious players have learned that you can manipulate this automated system easily. They would try to sell an item for a ridiculous price and let an alt-account or a friend buy that item for as much diamond as they want.
Doing these enough times will trick the system into thinking that’s the new RAP for that item.
So, when an unsuspecting player comes in and buys that item, they’ll see the RAP and believe that’s the normal price. They’ll then buy the item at that price from the people that set it up basically scamming them without even talking to them!
How To Base Your Prices
The best way to base your prices is to compare them to other items. For example, are pets, you can check out the prices of other exclusive pets and see the price differences. Pets that are rare or are the current new thing are a great way to check the price.
SIDE NOTE: A great way to get items to sell is by buying them from merchants and selling them to players. Here’s a detailed guide to the best merchants in the game!
Another way is to go to third-party websites like Pet Simulator 99 Values to check the price. There are a lot of websites made for Pet Simulator 99 by fans that can show the prices of each individual item. You can also ask in discord servers for trading what the prices are just to be sure!
That’s why you don’t want to trust the RAP values and how to trade safely in Pet Simulator 99. Now, go out there and try to trade as much as possible!
