Users need to be able to trade BCs with each other for R$.

In the catalog, there'd be a new category, BCs. Users could go here to put their BC on sale to others for R$, or buy BCs off of people for R$.

The way this would work is that when someone buys a BC, they have the option for it to go into their inventory. Once in their inventory, it could be sold like a limited for in-game currency. Marketplace fees would have to apply, I'm afraid ROBLOX won't change that if this is added. NBC would be able to sell BCs, though, provided that they have one in their inventory. However, NBC wouldn't be allowed to trade BCs on the trade system (Trading BC for limited items) and nobody could sell activated BCs.

So, when they've put it up for sale for X R$, someone else can go to the catalog, to the BC part, and get the BC for X R$. It would be credited to their inventory, to be used or sold whenever the buyer wants to use it.

I've done a fair few reposts of this. The following is points that have been used before, and that I've answered.

"But selling items is BC in the first place!"
This would be a exception. Anyone could sell/buy BCs

"Trading BC for in-game currency is against the rules!"
This is because normally, it leads to scams. This feature would actually prevent scams, as well as take R$ out of circulation, as well as help ROBLOX make more money from BC.

"Who in their right minds would sell their BCs for R$?!"
BC is used to get R$. Features like the trade system, more places, groups, gamepasses and higher paid access revenue mean that BC will help you take more money from others. So, say the buyer would use BC better than the seller, this would make this beneficial for both parties.

"ROBLOX will lose money, now you won't have to pay for BC"
Actually, you may not end up paying real money for the BC, but someone will. The only way to bring it into circulation would be paying real money. So ROBLOX will still make money from every BC that exists.

TL:DR, Read first please, helps cut spam.

@Yoel,
What would lead to the crash? From what I see of this in the economy branch, R$ will be taken out of circulation from more people selling limiteds and MPFs being imposed. The result would be less R$ in circulation.

No support.

I don't support this idea because honestly , its not needed, If people want BC, they can choose how long they want it for (Monthly,6 Months, 12 months)

There should be no need to "Sell" your builders club .

How would the economy crash? As far as I know, someone out there is still paying for the Roblox, and the marketplace fee would remove 30% of the profit from selling Builders Club anyways.

The R$ taken out of circulation would not cause the economy to crash, as it would bring more rarity to R$, thus more value to it.

No support. People could get BC Cheap when BC is meant to be for REAL money.

Roblox would get ABSOLUTELY NO PROFIT.

@Hungry,
The BCs would have been initially paid for though.

N0PE to the max!111

Explanation: Roblox has a 30% tax for one reason, since you can buy robux, which just appears out of nowhere there has to be a counter, so robux are worth something. If your suggestion happened, the economy would need more of an 80% tax. That would be horrible.

R$ would rise in value. I don't see why they would need a 80% tax.

You don't understand economy do you? If you have money coming out of nowhere it would cause inflation, money being worth less because there's more of it. That's why there is the 30% that goes to the government(roblox) but if we implement this, that would be even MORE inflation, therefore you need a higher tax.

Where would the extra Robux come from, and why would this source be triggered?

Allowing NBCers to get BC without paying? ROBLOX won't like that. No support anyway.

Why would anyone sell BC for RS? Why not just buy RS and get more?

@wow,
The BCs would be initially paid for by someone, and it is currently against the rules because it leads to scams.
@Ray, SOMEONE would have paid.
@JM, because BC is desired more by others people would probably get more value for money.

None of you three read the whole post, did you?

They won't have to pay, however ROBLOX will still make money because someone will have paid.
