I hope this is the right place to post this.

Lately I've noticed that plain cubs with common markings, eyes, and very low stats are overpriced. On the other hand, decent stat cubs with less common eyes, markings and special bases are seriously underpriced. Of course this isn't the case for every single sale, but its common. I had the idea of implementing a suggested pricing system to the trading center when setting up a trade.
It would appear on decor trades, cub trades, applicator trades, and anything else.
For example: Based on a cub's stats, markings, and base, and the popularity of said things, there would be something under the buyout option that says "Suggested Pricing: 100SB".
Of course it wouldn't be mandatory, but I think it would make it easier for people who don't know how to price their cubs or decors to price them based on their popularity. It would also, hopefully, prevent a 600 stat cub with special base, eyes, and harder to find markings being sold for 60sb.
Please tell me what you think and why! Thank you. <3

EDIT: Perhaps in actual trades you create there could be an option or button to lower the price without making a completely new trade.
Example: you put a cub up for 100 SB and five days later and several bumps later, no hits. There could be an option near "bump this trade" that would allow you to lower the price by 5, 10, 15, 50 SB (or 1, 2, 5, 10 GB for high priced GB items).



This suggestion has 78 supports and 10 NO supports.

I'm totally here for this, and though there's a lot of markings and such, I think it could be calculated depending on how many of a certain marking exist in the game, for example (there could possibly be other ways, and for other things such as mutations, base rarity, etc). Not sure why it infuriates me to see NCL cubs being sold for 5GB, but on a less petty note, it would probably really help people who are newer and just don't know how to price stuff. Maybe when you're making a trade and you add a lion, right under or beside the enter price boxes it could just say in small, italic text, "Suggested price: -insert-SB". Not at all intrusive, and completely optional.

As I was writing that last line I did realize an issue however, and I think that lies in GB conversion. There is currently no set in stone GB/SB conversion, though the most popular consensus seems to be somewhere around 1300SB. Might not be a major problem, but I think because of this it may have to stick to only SB, and let people decide the price in GB for themselves? (I'm inclined to say they add a link to the GB sales for an idea on GB pricing, however there's a 6 mile laundry list of problems with the GB sales page so let's not do that.)

I really enjoyed your input, and will add it (with credit) to my post soon! I definitely think I could stick to SB prices, and if the user feels necessary, they can choose to add GB. Say, if thw suggestion says "Suggested price: 1400 SB" they could go for one solid GB Or one GB and some change ^·^
