Are Adopt Me values real?

No value list is official. Adopt Me has no prices in it, so every number you have seen is somebody’s estimate of what the community will accept, and different sites disagree with each other constantly. They are useful as a rough guide and misleading as a rule.

How do I know if a trade is fair without a value list?

Ask whether you want what you are getting more than what you are giving. The Happy Values calculator will suggest things worth asking for and tell you in words — fair, you give more, or you ask for more — without putting a number on either side.

Q: What are happy values in Adopt Me?

Happy values means trading for what makes you happy rather than for what a value list says. If you get a pet you have wanted for ages and you are glad about it, that is a good trade — even if a value list calls it a loss.

Q: What is the difference between happy values and real values?

Real values are the numbers on value lists and win/fair/lose calculators, which tell you whether a trade is even on paper. Happy values are about what you personally want: a pet that completes your collection, one you think looks great, or one you have been after for months.

Happy values means trading for what makes you happy, not for what a value list says. If you get your dream pet and you’re glad about it, that’s a good trade, even if a list calls it a loss.

Happy values vs. real values

“Real values” are the numbers on value lists and win/fair/lose calculators. They tell you whether a trade is even on paper. Happy values are about what you personally want: a pet that completes your collection, one you think looks great, or one you’ve wanted for ages.

Watch out for lowballs

Some traders say “I trade happy values” to excuse a weak offer. Happy values should be your choice, not something you’re talked into. Only trade in the in-game trade window and never go first on a “trust trade”.

How Happy Values helps

On Happy Values, traders post what they’d happily give and what they want, keep a public wishlist of dream pets, and rate each other after every trade. You see who actually wants your pets and who has the ones you want.
