1) 7 oranges, 2 fishing poles, 1 light armor, 5 bones, 1 syrup -- paid 5 silver 8 bronze 1 gold
2) 1 prime cut, 1 flour, 5 rattails, 1 ice cream, 50 sap, 1 glimmerbulb -- paid 8 bronze 3 gold
3) 1 earth wisp, 5 bones, 31 glimmerdust, 3 fancy blocks, 1 syrup, 30 fertilizer -- paid 8 bronze 2 gold
4) 30 blue petals, 32 hides, 1 glimmerbulb, 1 flour, 4 earth wisp, 60 coal -- paid 9 bronze 1 gold
There is no pattern and no way to predict what you'll receive, but your odds increase the more trades you do. I don't let any of them expire and I have 4 rainbow ali's. I have noticed that when the trade requests golden eggs or nuggets, I only receive bronze runes. But I do the trades anyway and sometimes will get gold runes on the next trade or two.
That's just my strategy but it has worked well for me.
