Look past the fact that clothes will be a little more expensive and think about the benefits. I'm not saying that 300 tix is a fair price for a shirt, but maybe thirty or forty tix is. At least hear me out, I'll try to keep this brief.
With the old no price floor system, good designers who wanted to sell their items and make a profit would be immediately copied. Copiers would then sell their products for even cheaper price. The copies gain the attention and buys, while the original creator gets nothing.
Price floor can prevent this, by not only guaranteeing clothing makers make some profit, but it will also do away with shirt/pant copying! If you copy someone's clothes, you can only sell it for a higher price than the original, meaning that the original ones get popular.
This can also stimulate the ROBLOX economy. And think about it, say there's a shirt you really want to buy, but you don't have enough money. You save up your tix for about two days, then you can afford it! Doesn't that make it much more valuable to you?
In conclusion, I'd like to say that price floor has a lot of merit and can do us well, we just need to treat it right and come to proper terms. |

"With the old no price floor system, good designers who wanted to sell their items and make a profit would be immediately copied. Copiers would then sell their products for even cheaper price. The copies gain the attention and buys, while the original creator gets nothing. "
- The shirt is cheap. Everyone gets it and no one needs to copy it anyways. Remember not every player on Roblox is a professional photoshopper. You're overestimating the power of children. If the price is high, then the price is high.
"Price floor can prevent this, by not only guaranteeing clothing makers make some profit, but it will also do away with shirt/pant copying! If you copy someone's clothes, you can only sell it for a higher price than the original, meaning that the original ones get popular."
-Stated before. The price floor is overpriced and the only reason someone would copy their shirt or pants is because it was too expensive in the first place.
"This can also stimulate the ROBLOX economy. And think about it, say there's a shirt you really want to buy, but you don't have enough money. You save up your tix for about two days, then you can afford it! Doesn't that make it much more valuable to you?"
-What if the shirt that is 300 tickets is the shirt I want. Then we'll have to wait for a long time.
The price floor isn't good. It's too high, aimed for the wrong people, and nobody will have fun with it. Especially the new players. |

I'd be fine selling shirts for 30 tix minimum if I was forced to.
300 tix, no. Not worth paying $5 a month just knowing 90% of people are not willing to pay that much for a simple shirt that does nothing. That's why V.I.P shirts sell so well at a high price. |

I say they remove the copy image. If you -1 from the ID of a shirt's ItemID then you get the design. That's just asking for copiers... Also the 30 price floor would be good. |

Hi Bright,
Long time yes see.
I honestly agree with you, and the sensible majority of us would. We just don't voice it because of the overriding anger. |

300 for 90 tix back is insane I'd say 15-20 tix should be average and creator should get about 10 tix per minimum buy. This will also discourage copiers but still keep a decent price for the items this way clans don't fall members will buy BC and we won't just quit. ~Protest the 300 tix floor pricing don't wear anything!!! |

Mixed replies. While it is hard to make such a major change to ROBLOX, it does make sense, doesn't it? Again, this is all debatable, I'm only giving my take on the issue. Calling me "crazy" is a little rude, especially if you don't take the time to read and consider my ideas.
@Bloxabrick, What more than often happens is that a great designer will make something and sell it for about, maybe, five to ten robux and ten to twenty tix. Someone else takes the shirt and sells it for one tix. Which will people buy? The less expensive one. It still is pretty cheap and you are right in saying that, but a lot of the problem is that the original designers don't get the recognition they deserve.
People do copy shirts and sell them for lower prices, which isn't good. Price floor can stop this copying. I'd also like to say once again that I am not in favor of a 300 tix limit. Something around thirty or forty is more reasonable. Besides, even if "noobs" can't afford it right away, it gives them something to work for. They save up their money for a few days, and bam! Accomplishment!
We can make it work.

| Well than it's the persons fault that it's way too expensive. It's a shirt. Just a shirt. Not worth it if its over 10 robux. |

| One of the goals is to make shirts worth more. Clothing making should be a big form of ROBLOX "business", and sadly, it's hardly worth the time at the moment. |

Implying people will want to make it just the very minimum price. That's very diverse.
Or put more systems for blocking copied shirts up, pay more attention, etc. Perhaps take reports from Veteran and BC+ members more seriously and gain priority so you don't get noob fake reports as often, etc. Then prices can be what they want without 1293471248126412$ shirts and crapola. |

I don't support it.
What would be better it's: when you create clothes they are reviewed by mods to see if it's copied or not. If it's copied, his clothes wont be in sale. |
