I'm working on wish Eevees and know people'll trade quite good pokes for them. But I don't know how good a poke I should accept. I don't want to rip people off, or to get ripped of myself. Sorry I know this is a noob-ish sort of thing to ask.

Well if people offer you something it must not be worth much to them so Its not a big deal, but in my opinion egg move pokemon are worth other egg moved pokemon.

I run an egg move breeding center and do trades like this all the time. You don't usually see good pokemon being traded for just one egg moved pokemon. Most of the time the good trades are for 3 or 4.

You have to think of the pokemon trading world, like our real life economy. It's constantly changing and constantly consumer driven. If EVERYONE wants the Eevee you could get away with trading events for it! If NO ONE wants it then you will be stuck trading for common pokemon.

A nice rule to follow is, see what they offer. If it sounds reasonable, do it. If it sounds like your ripping them off or they're ripping you off, decline. Remember, fair traders always get repeat business the people who try and rip people off end up getting owned in the end.

It depends on what you think is valuable.

This is pretty much the trading chain of value:
From less valuable, to most.

Normal Pokemon
Egg Move Pokemon
Legendaries
Shiny Pokemon
Event Pokemon

So I should take the same as I would any other egg moved poke? I thought that until I realised how long it takes to breed a wish Eevee.

Here is some economics info. If you are willing to do something for someone that they don't want to do themselves it is worth more to them than it is to you. This is the same principle at work when people pay kids to mow their lawns. They don't want to do it, BUT they still want it done. So, meh, just pay someone to do it.

Even trades aren't accurate. You wouldn't say "listen mate, I need my lawn mowed, so if you mow mine I'll mow yours"

That is why a few egg moved pokemon are worth something more to the "buyer" than the seller.

EDIT: and the time you spend is a big factor.

There'snot really much point to this thread, unfortunately. The best thing to do is just ask for what you think they are worth, or for Pokemon to full up your dex.
