Finding Inexpensive Pets

There are two primary times when you want to buy an inexpensive pet:

* use up remaining cash
* grow your total count of pets

The cheapest pet is valued at $500, and with taxes and the value uptick, you will buy that pet for $571.

So how to best find them?

You can find a cheap pet via the "On Sale" tab under the "Pets" menu option. The biggest problem with this approach is that everybody else is looking there, too. When you see a listing for a pet valued at $500, it occurs all-too-often that when you go and try to buy that pet, they are now valued higher. Or the pet is immediately bought from you, leaving with cash to dispose (again!).

The best way is to choose the "Pets" menu option, then select one of your networks. In my case, I choose the "San Francisco, CA" network. It will show you a list of all the most expensive pets in that network. Narrow it down by selecting (say) "Show Girls", and then switch from sorting by cost to sorting by recent activity. You are now looking at (female) pets who are currently active. Invariably, the values of these pets are high or they are climbing as you look at the page.

Here is the key: scroll to the bottom, and hit the link to bring you to page 100. Go to the end of the list. These pets' values are stable, and they are typically very low. These are the people who installed the application, but haven't done much, and/or other people have not bought them. You will be able to find plenty of inexpensive pets here.

Use this technique to find cheap pets and build up your list. Or use your remaining cash.
