Hello everyone,
I have decided to start off my journey to become a trader. While following this: http://blog.roblox.com/2012/08/trading-for-profit-and-fun-the-one-week-challenge-part-1/ I bought the Recycled Cardboard Shades, the RAP being 300 RS. So, then, I went to the Collectibles page, I found something called the Cyberforce Detective. Which lowest price is 310 RS. And RAP is 355 RS. So, I decided to trade my Shades with an extra of 25 RS to the guy with the cheapest price (for the Cyberforce Detective).
Here is the key information:
The guy is selling it for 310 RS. I bought my shades for 299 RS.
The RAP of the Cyberforce is 355 RS. The RAP of my item was 300 RS.
I traded my Recycled Cardboard Shades (with 25 RS Extra!) with his Cyberforce Detective.
I added the extra 25 RS since the value of my item was 299 RS, making it 324 RS. And the value of his trade was 355 RS.
So, am I doing this right? |

| Yes, but you could have gotten more for shades since they are in high demand |

Neon green hair is a great item with tons of demand when it comes to oders Can make 1k off it easy
If you really want to profit it You should wait until after sale when it goes back up to 1k c: |

And becoming a good trader requires a lot guessing and predicting values
Until you hit around 20k rap just focus on rap (unless its a projected item!) and when you reach 20k rap you can start value trading |

Ok, so I just got a trade for my Order of the Ruby Dragon, worth 544 RS.
For: Beach Day, ValentIne's Day Cap 2014, Luckysphere, and The CommIssIoner, everything is worth 661.
Should I accept?

| Thanks for the tips, but can you explain to me how to use RAP effectively? All I know is that it's the recent average price. |

| Well Power I hope you're trading experience gets you were you want to be. I just read that blog for the first time and it's so true...smaller items are much easier to profit than larger items. You will do well following that guide. Also don't ever trust anyone on LMaD if something seems too good to be true it's most likely not real. |

I would uust worry about 1v1 until you get rid of the smalls
Dealing with items that small is no buen
Go buy neon green hair for beautiful people, and you might be able to snag stuff a lot better than that offer |

| And there really is no way of using rap effectively, unless you gamble and trade with projecteds which i 100% garuntee wont work out well for you |

| Yeah good counter. Basically you will get people giving you a higher rap offer but in more items. That is called a downgrade but sometimes the extra rap is not worth the items. Certain items get many good offers compared to others. |

So the value of his items are 1000 RS (including the extra 400 Robux I countered) and the value of mine is 500 RS.

Also, if you want to squeeze a bit more profit off someone Send them the same offer they sent you, except make it so they add a bit more, if they declinenthat accept the first one (if its good xP) |
