PSA: Potato Pups in The TC

I came back to the game recently, and I had listed three potatoes before thinking better of it and chasing them. Even if someone bought one, what good will 1 SC do me? I understand the attachment one feels to these fictional animals, but for me, it's easier to not get attached if they're not really special in any way.

Right now I'm working on clearing out my older potatoes I adopted when the game was just starting. I'll give the trained ones a chance to be bought but I need the space, so they'll probably end up chased. I do wish there was a bigger incentive for chasing, but "someone else might see it as a NBW" is the best we've got, so I just think of that.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with loving a potato. That's up to the individual, after all. But if you love your potatoes, keep them -- there's a miniscule chance of anyone else loving them the same way, I'm afraid.

potat should i yeet this bab? i only kept him for his eyes but he has no good use for me XD so do i yeet into the woods or keep?

Definitely sell

He’s a tier II, the base is under 1%, fox eyes, and his stats are good. 

potat 2 then what about this one?

Hmmm 🤔 his stats are decent enough for a tier I base, and he has more than 3 markings. I’d say you could probably get him sold because of that. Though he might be on the lower end price wise for someone to buy. 

so how should i price both of them once they are weaned

Id say 30 - 50sc for the fox eyed tier II and 15 - 30sc for the tier I. If the fox eyes doesn’t sell before it’s 1year then you can up the price for it since someone will probably buy him and sexchange it then so they can breed it for a chance at a tier III. 

ooh ok ok, thanks! im just trying to make space for my lead wolf's pup because she ia a isabel base and she has lore to my pack XD

I agree with this post as well! Sometimes I will sell potato pups to people who collect them (I know a few) but a lot of the pups I breed have at least 300+ stats, so once in a while, I will sell somewhat ugly pups with pretty high stats. I, personally, get really sick of seeing plain potatoes in the TC with no stats and basically no markings. My "rules" that I use for selling pups are:

- Must have at least 280+ stats
- At least 4 markings
- If it's a TII base, at least 2 markings
- The pup should have markings that blend well (I make an exception if the pup has over 400 stats)
-If the pup has under the required stats and markings, it will be chased unless it has at least 2 rare markings (merle, inuit, tamaskan, etc)

I sell Potatos mostly for pup sitting exp (Either Mine of someone else's), I don't want then sure, but I also just...don't have the heart to chase them either, I'm always pleased when my potato's go to good homes because Someone Likes them.

It's made all the harder knowing that chased pups are Baleeted from the game. So sorry for the hair in the drain.
