Since this is coming up real bad to the point where I'm staying off of GTS for awhile, what is there to do about annoying people on GTS who may be trying to fleece you out of something for almost nothing? I put up $3000 pokedollars and a Lucario to look for sellers who have Pharraloin, and either a moron, someone who can't read, or someone who is looking to try to fleece me out of $3000 pokedollars put in an offer of a single Purrloin and nothing else for the 3000 and Lucario. Not only is Purrloin not worth that much, it is not what I even asked for in my trade description. The same thing came up with Gloweon. Initially, I was asking for an event Pokemon I didn't have the evo line of, and people kept on trying to give me events from an evo line that I already have. I wasn't getting anywhere so I put up some kind of silent auction on GTS with a min of $2500. Someone put in a single Exploud and no Pokedollar bid on it. Not only is Gloweon not worth a single Exploud, it goes against what I put in the trade description. I'm not sure if they are all stupid people who simply don't read the trade description or people who put up something by mistake or if they are simply trying to fleece me out of what I asked for by putting in something that I could potentially mistake it for. Um, help? Clarification? It's become a headache... And yes, I'm mad at it.

Title: Rarity

how do I know if one is fleecing me with like the different type of Pokemon. like are retro Pokemon rarer than normal ones or are they worth the same?

---

Retro ones are definetly rarer i guess the normals could be just 100 pd but the retro can be 1000-10,000 pd or even more

---

The value of retro pokemon vary wildly because some of them are much easier to get than others. For example, a concentration retro like retro sentret is only worth about 100 pd according to the Market Insider while a retro like retro articuno that has not been obtainable for years goes for over 100k pd.

So if you're not sure on what a retro is worth when buying or selling one, it's advisable to check the Market Insider, check the sitewide frequency in the Pokedex to see how common the retro is, research if the retro is currently obtainable on site, and ask other users if you're not confident in being able to figure out a retro's worth by yourself.
