So I bought a fire beetle, trained to lev 5, but I knew it was gimped : Had AP/CR/Poison, SR=30(!!), and AP I would have liked AI instead. But it had many hours of training, has 620 points left and its level 5. Likely will not scroll it. Price was too sweet to pass up. Kinda gimped, but not too bad, want it mostly for the 100% fire and RC anyways, and AP is not too horrible. My time for training and skilling is limited and all skills were GM. I knew what I was getting from that vendor, and happy about it due to really low price.
Soo..
I was at Luna ATL stable chatting with other folk there, and there was this one tamer who was sporting an untrained, unskilled unscrolled Dreadmare with ok stats. Claimed he had offers for 800M on it and was taking pot-shots at two people there sitting on their Blaze Cus. Turned down offers for 350M and 400M.
Then he unstabled a Bane Dragon and on the name of the dragon he had "For sale for 150M". It had decent stats, but on the lore page boom : 4 slots!
So I ask him " This is a 4 slot Bane, do you think 150M is a little overpriced?". He joked a little bit and said "This is my personal preference, and the price I want to get for it." So I told him good luck and left..
Especially for that untrained and unskilled unscrolled Bane, this would be a complete ripoff for 150 M..Some careless soul will see the bane stats, not pay attention to the lore page with 4 slots, and not be aware what this means. Then realize what they did.
They just bought a deco pet for bank-sitting! For 150 M.
Also someone may argue about the 3 slot Dread. It was not extremely high intensity (55-60%), and untrained.
Another well-known player in Stratics was trying to sell a Bane, 4 slot "partially trained", that had only ONE level of training ever, i.e. was to begin with a 4 slot bane, in Traders Hall. So the prospective buyer, made him take the pet to TC1 to see if it indeed was 3 or 4 slot, and what levels of training. It was a 4 slot also.
It is hard to believe that these people do not know the true value of their pets. Feigned ignorance is a nice excuse. It is more preying on fellow players carelessness and relative ignorance, and pre-determined to cheat, one more dishonest way to play. No sense of game honor, and it is despicable.
So here it is esp for new/returning players.
=Be aware that there are 4 slot Dreads and 4 slot Bane Dragons : Most of them are worthless or very low value, and although they are Dreads and Banes genetically, they cannot compare with their 3-slot brethren.
Their values/prices should be nowhere near what the 3 slot pets are..
=Be patient, and not in a hurry to get this "opportunity" pet. Ask someone here FIRST, and we have the best people in the internet in here to ask. Always willing to help with HONEST unbiased opinions.
=If you see what it looks like a great skilled/scrolled pet on vendor or being sold at the stables. Do your job and check all lore pages, and know what they mean. Check it out first here esp if you are new to taming.
=If you have Legacy pets to sell : Careful about pricing them (or training them). Ask here FIRST.
The answers here are almost immediate, and worth waiting for.
Just my 10 cents..

Tbh, without the extra $$, that was cheap. That extra $$ put it over the top though tbh, so yeah...
