 For a few people [[generation]] is just a number, but for the majority of players it is a significant determining factor in a waja's value, with lower generations generally being far more valuable than higher generations

Even second hand customs are usually sold for 8 CWP+.  Higher value tokens, few pups or customs that are very pretty or have expensive dyes, are often worth more.

 *It may be helpful to use the [[Waja Search]] to look for wajas with similar markings, generation, etc. to the waja you're trying to sell and see what other people are pricing those at.  This can give you an idea of roughly what your waja may be worth.

+*'Divines are more rare than other breeds, due to their lack of dominance and the limited availability of their tokens. Their tokens are also twice the price of other breed tokens, on the one day of the year that they are sold. for these reasons, Divines are often priced higher than other breeds. For example, a nice looking generation 2 [[Divine]] can often go easily for 8 million WC or more, whereas a Gen 2 [[Normal]] with the same markings might go for half as much.

		+	Wajas with any number of markings can sell though, as some people like busy designs and others prefer simple designs. The number of markings will not usually impact the price in a large way, although some people do like to be able to find unrelated mates to breed with, and the more markings a waja has the harder this can be.
