Shut up. If I may butt in, it's important to realize that the market is unpredictable and always changing. Items in the future can be bought for twice as much as they do now. Different types of breeders value different bases and markings. I've had lions up for sale for weeks with NO attention suddenly get bought for a considerable amount of gb. Pricing things "right" takes patience and experience.

If you are actually willing to put in the work and research, however, I highly recommend following forums. Look atItems and Lions and Wanted: Items and Wanted: Lions. What are people looking for and what are they willing to pay for it? As Tan France from Queer Eye once said: "Make πŸ‘ an πŸ‘ effort πŸ‘"

I'm probably going to make a legit price guide in the future because I love this game and this community (as much as y'all want to make me rip my hair out sometimes). In the meantime you can check out this handy dandy (read: actually useful) guide as well :)

It's just absolutely wild to me that some people rather ask for value estimates in chat over and over again instead of taking advantage of all these resources!!

wow that's awful Some users (esp new ones) need to understand that other players can't just guarantee your lion will sell at x price.

This is genius. Absolutely genius.
I do have one question, though. Do you have any advice on how to price check rare lions without consulting the chat? Because I do agree that the constant flow of "Price check? [link]" messages is getting out of hand.
In particular, I recently came into possession of a triple rosette citrine male, which you can view here if you're curious. I plan to RMA more rosette marks onto him as well as king him, but when he does have more rosettes there will be no point of reference for his value as he is one-of-a-kind. So, how do you suggest I price check him then?

That's a great question- and you're right, there are some lions that may be so unique it's difficult to find something similar to compare them to. In cases like yours, I have seen people split the lion into its two or three most valuable qualities and add the highest prices those qualities alone might sell for together. So a triple rosette can sell for up to 100 gb and a double citrine is currently at 15 gb (although in the context of the lion being a potential king that isn't limited to 8 heats to pass his base, you could triple this). Then you just kinda... add a lot more gb (150-ish) because a lion having both these qualities is very rare (and potentially another 50+ gb because he'll always have studders for his combo base). The total is around 350-400 gb; there are other ways of calculating value of course, like what you bought for the lion + what you payed in marking altercations and whatnot. I think this would be an example of the difference between what something is worth and what something would often sell for on TC. I just kind of explained my process for the later, but I hope you found some sense in it
