Real shit though, it was like 4AM last night and there was a shiny in trade chat, think it was an Altaria or something. As someone who does not shiny trade, how am I to come up with a decent offer for this kid with out low balling the shit out of him. Asking Shiny trader friends is not a reliable option at 4AM. Thankfully, I was able to refer to these lists though (Specifically Josh & Alpha's)
I don't see exactly why Value discussion was removed if it was primarily used to value shinies, which is what the GTL does not do. People do not trade these kinds of shines on the GTL bc of the tax and more importantly the fact that people don't trade in pure yen for larger shinies.
