Many of them should start their search on Petrades and go from here into the markets.

  2. Tools for sellersWe build more tools that help sellers.
  3. A growing communityWe want more people to know Petrades, so that the community keeps growing.

Our story

  1. The startPetrades started without fees. You paid once for your kiosk, and that was all. Every breedable had its own website, and that is why each breedable still has its own color today.🐴 Horses🐉 Dragons🐦 Birds🐶 K9🦄 Ponie Pals
  2. Almost the endThe system was badly misused. Some people flooded the list with spam, and others copied kiosks with glitches in Second Life. We almost had to shut Petrades down.
  3. Small feesWe changed to small fees, and it was the right decision. The listings got better, and the fees cover our running costs, so we can keep Petrades running safely.
  4. One PetradesThe Petrades Auctionhouse, the yellow website at pets.derbfactory.net, was the first to bring several breedables together on one website. The Amaretto horses stayed on their own website at horses.derbfactory.net. In 2025 we started to bring both websites together here on petrades.derbfactory.net.
