    Do you think that aged pets are worth anything?

    I recently was given an old account by a friend that has pets that are upwards of 9 years old. They're all pretty badly named and have really cheap paint jobs. I'm not sure whether I should keep them on the account because they belong there or just pound them all.

    ... or if I should buy a lab for the account and start zapping them until they're something good.. but either way I'd need an extra space on the account since I plan to use it to get more transfers per month.. not sure which pet to get rid of since they're all about the same age.

    aged pets arent worth much, they could get a bit if they were VWN

    i think BN ones are generally useless,. i tried trading one and got nothing

    erm..9 years+? remember to check if they are UC before u decide to do anth with them:)..

    but yeah like RnF said, if we only take the age into consideration, they ain't worth much i guess..

    If they are BN, you aren't likely to get anything for them Dx
    Trust me, I've tried and no one was even the slightest bit interested. You could try trading, but I would just pound them.

    Ah I see..

    I'm thinking of pounding them, but I would feel really bad if my friend ever wanted to see the account again hahaha. Maybe I'll make a noob account and transfer all of them to it.

    You'll have to wait some time before the new account can accept transfers. Aren't there restrictions on what color/species of pets new accounts can accept?

    Yeah, like the previous replies, a BNed basic pet whose only value is age is worth nothing. I saw a VWNed 9 year plus pet get a FFQ offered the other day though.

    I would say its not worth it to keep them. Just pound them.

    The age of the pet doesn't really matter to the buyer and there will be even fewer people interested seeing as it is BN

    I personally don't think there worth much, after all it's just an age.
