Pet Simulator 99 Trading Guide (2026)

Trading is how you actually progress in Pet Simulator 99. I’ve gone from basic Huges to multiple Titanics purely through smart trades. Here’s everything I’ve learned about the PS99 trading system.

Unlocking the Trading Plaza

Before you can trade, you need access to the Trading Plaza:

Reach The Castle in Area Three (Spawn World)
Complete your first Rebirth at the golden cat statue
Return to The Castle - the gate will now be open
Walk through the main hallway to enter the Trading Plaza

The Trading Plaza is where all trading happens. You can’t trade in regular game areas.

Pro Trading Plaza

If you have 5+ Huge pets or any Titanic pet, you can access the Pro Trading Plaza. This area has:

More serious traders
Higher value items
Less spam and scammers
Better auction activity

How to Trade

There are three ways to trade in PS99:

Direct Trading

The most common method:

Open your Inventory
Click the trade button (green/yellow icon)
Walk up to another player
Request a trade
Both players add items
Both players confirm
Trade completes

Direct trades have no tax and are instant.

Booth Trading

Set up a shop to sell while AFK:

Find an unclaimed booth in the Trading Plaza
Interact with it to claim it
Select pets/items to sell
Set your diamond prices
Wait for buyers

Booth sales have a 1% tax. Selling for 100M diamonds gives you 99M.

Auction House

For high-value items:

Interact with the giant billboard above the Plaza
List your item with a starting bid
Set auction duration
Wait for bids

Auctions also have 1% tax on the final sale.

Understanding Pet Values

Values change constantly. Here’s how to check them:

Value List Sites

Site	Best For
123Demands	Most accurate RAP, live charts
Cosmic Values	Quick value checks
PS99 RAP	In-game RAP tracking
Traderie	Actual trade listings

Key Terms

RAP (Recent Average Price): What the pet actually sells for
Demand: How many people want it (affects real value)
Exists: How many copies exist in the game
Bugged RAP: Artificially inflated values (avoid these)

Value vs Demand

A pet’s listed value isn’t always what you’ll get:

High demand pets trade above RAP
Low demand pets trade below RAP
New event pets have unstable values
Discontinued pets often rise over time

Trading Strategies

For Beginners

Start small and build up:

Trade duplicates for pets you don’t have
Focus on fair trades - don’t try to profit yet
Learn values before making big trades
Use booth sales to convert pets to diamonds
Buy underpriced booth items and resell

Intermediate Trading

Once you understand values:

Buy low, sell high on event pets
Trade during events when values fluctuate
Bundle multiple pets for single upgrades
Watch for panic sellers after events end
Hold discontinued pets for value increases

Advanced Trading

For serious traders:

Track RAP trends on 123Demands charts
Identify bugged RAP before buying
Time your sales around updates
Use multiple value sources to verify
Build relationships with regular traders

Common Scams to Avoid

PS99 has a lot of scammers. Here’s what to watch for:

Trust Trade Scam

How it works: Someone asks you to send pets first, promising to send back double or “signed” pets.

Reality: They take your pets and leave.

Rule: NEVER send pets first. Ever.

Fake Value Scam

How it works: Scammer claims their pet is worth way more than it is, showing fake screenshots or outdated values.

Reality: The pet is worth far less.

Rule: Always check multiple value sites yourself.

Quick Switch Scam

How it works: Scammer shows a valuable pet, then quickly swaps it for a worthless one before you confirm.

Reality: You trade for garbage.

Rule: Always double-check what’s in the trade before confirming.

Bugged RAP Scam

How it works: Someone artificially inflates a pet’s RAP, then tries to sell it at the fake value.

Reality: The pet’s real value is much lower.

Rule: Check if RAP suddenly spiked on value sites.

Middleman Scam

How it works: Fake “middleman” offers to hold items during a trade, then disappears.

Reality: They steal everything.

Rule: Only use verified middlemen from official Discord servers.

Tax Calculations

Understanding tax helps you price correctly:

Sale Price	Tax (1%)	You Receive
1M	10K	990K
10M	100K	9.9M
100M	1M	99M
1B	10M	990M
10B	100M	9.9B

Factor tax into your booth prices. If you want 100M, list for ~101M.

Best Practices

Before Trading

Check values on multiple sites
Verify the pet variant (Normal/Golden/Rainbow)
Look for bugged RAP indicators
Know what you’re willing to accept

During Trading

Double-check items before confirming
Don’t rush - scammers pressure you
Screenshot high-value trades
Use direct trade for valuable items

After Trading

Verify you received correct items
Report scammers to Big Games Discord
Update your value knowledge
Track your profit/loss

Trading Etiquette

The community has unwritten rules:

Don’t spam trade requests - one request is enough
Don’t lowball aggressively - slight underpay is fine, 50% offers aren’t
Respond to declines politely - “nty” means no, move on
Advertise in chat reasonably - don’t spam every 5 seconds
Honor agreed trades - backing out last second is bad form

Where to Find Trades

In-Game

Trading Plaza (regular and Pro)
Booth browsing
Auction watching

External

Big Games Discord - Official trading channels
Traderie - Online marketplace
Reddit r/PetSimulator99 - Trade posts

Building Your Portfolio

Think of trading like investing:

Diversify

Don’t put everything into one pet type. Spread across:

Event pets (seasonal value)
Exclusive pets (stable value)
Huge pets (trading currency)
Titanics (long-term holds)

Hold vs Flip

Hold: Discontinued pets, limited event items
Flip: Current event pets, common Huges

Track Your Trades
