There are hundreds of collectors of serials who all collect different serials! keep that in mind when trading your items. 02A Sales/Holidays During an sale ROBLOX normally releases several new limiteds, new items, and put previously off sale items on sale for a timer. During sales items often sell lower than their actual value due to people wanting R$ to purchase items during the sale, and this causes items to lower by the masses. It is likely that your limiteds will lower during. The same can be said for holidays. Here are some common sale dates: President's day: February. Memorial day: may. Midnight Summer Sale: June. Labor Day :September. Black Friday: November. Here are some common holiday dates with a fair share of items released: Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, St Patrick's day, Independence day. 03A Hats, Gears, Faces. You should always be aware of what your trading for. One of the things to be aware of is that people consider hats more desirable, meaning hats>gears&faces, and gears are often considered the 2nd best type of item (Order *AGREED UPON BY MANY* is hats>gears>faces. Some people will only trade for Hats, and while other people are gear collectors and pay high for gear with 'overpowered' stats. However, don't leave Faces out of the mix! most limitedU faces showcase colors, and emotions meaning people will pay more for their favorite colors/emotions 04A Upgrading is when your giving more items for less items (Example: Giving 4 items for 1 item, giving 3 items for 2 items) when upgrading there is often a "Upgrading Fee" which means they expect you to overpay to upgrade, and most traders are like this. There is no real way to bypass this. 05A Downgrading is when your giving less items for more items, (Example: giving 1 item for 4 items, giving 2 items for 3 items) When downgrading it is reasonable to expect slight overpay because they are upgrading (As previously stated there is what's considered a "Upgrading Fee") 06A Projected/Project/Projection/hoard/hoarding Hoarding or "Projecting" is when a user collects a large sum of the same item (Example: 100 copies of the same item) and then they buy the item for a large amount of ROBUX to raise the RAP (Recent Average Price). Doing this gives an item the false appearence of value. A easy way to make sure your not trading for an projected item is to check the item's page, and check the Price to RAP Ratio, if the price is lower than RAP its most likely projected. Tips on how to tell if an item is hoarded: the RAP will be outrageous with a very low seller's price (Example: 67k RAP, 7500 selling price, very big different, very obvious hint that it is projected) Ask LMaD (Let's Make a Deal Subforum), they normally know when an item is projected and know who projected it. 07A Hype is a term used in trading and investing very often. Hype happens whenever a new LimitedU is released, or whenever a item turns into an Limited, and it is priced very high for a very brief period before it stabilizes. (Example: a new LimitedU is released, the first seller sells it for 100k, and then you check back in an hour and the lowest price is 5k, its not because the item is lowering, its because it's stabilizing) 08A Trade currency is a good way to make small sums of profit, but beware it is very risky to use the trade currency with profit in mind. The average ratio of tickets to robux is 1 robux for every 17 tickets. (1;17).The best time to trade robux is when the ratio is somewhat higher such as 1:19.5/1:20+ or higher and then wait until the ratio returns to the average 1:17/1:18 ratio, and the best time to trade tickets is when the ratio is lower (I.E: Ratio of 16:1) 09A When Buying a limited you should keep in mind the 30% fee, this can really damage the possibility of reselling the limited for profits. (Example: you bought an item for 3500 R$, if you wish to obtain that 3500 back, you must resell it for 5000 which in most cases is unlikely to happen.) 010A "High Demand" is a term often used in the trading community, when an item haves "High Demand" it means it is highly desired by traders and they sell and get traded very often. These items raise very fast due to the "Overpay" trades they get everyday just because they have high demand! (Some items with high demand would be: The Classic ROBLOX Fedora, Clockwork's Headphones & Shades, Valkyrie Helm, and many more) You should go for high demand items if you are going for the most profits; they are faster, and easier to trade than items with low/no demand 011A TIPS on how to get trades: Going to trading games is a great source of trades, Trading games such as Trade Central by Materking or Trade Hangout by Merely can be an great source of trades, as hundreds of traders go to those games to get trades daily! It is also a great way to socialize with other traders. 011B Trade Groups is a good way of getting advice for trades or even get trades, and by using a trading group's wall and posting something as simple as "Send me trades" you could receive dozens of trades! I suggest joining the largest trade group on ROBLOX "Trade." http://www.roblox.com/My/Groups.aspx?gid=650266 011C Forums; Going to the subforum Let's Make a Deal (http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=35) and creating a thread asking for advice can really benefit you when you are unsure of an trade. But be aware of people overvaluing items, undervaluing, they might tell you false info. 012A Everyone is likely to encounter a scam/scammer at some point of time, they are everywhere from games, comments, to forums. Here are some of the most common scams and how to avoid them A. anyone asking your account info/information just want to steal your limiteds, robux, and your account! do not give out your information to ANYONE FOR ANY REASON WHICH SOEVER. B.If anyone askes to 'borrow' your limiteds/ limitedUs/ robux/ tickets it is ALWAYS a scam, don't lend any ROBLOX currency, limiteds, or anything of the sort. C.Anyone asking/promising they will 'Profit' your limiteds are LYING and are trying to STEAL your limiteds, DO NOT let anyone "Profit" or "Invest" your limiteds, you will never get them back! D.Anyone saying they can generate, produce, or dupicate limiteds are lying, there is no possible way to do any of that, DO NOT trust whatever they say or do what they say E.ANY offsite links are possible account stealers /keylogs/hackers/many other terms, DO NOT EVER visit any offsite links. F.If anything is too good to be true, then it probably is. G.the easiest way to avoid being scammed is to simply FOLLOW ROBLOX RULES and do not do offsite deals, or trades outside of the trade system. H. There is no way to generate ROBUX, do not trust anyone that claims they can. I: There is no free/secret/exploits/hacks to get free BC/ROBUX do not fall for those tricks! J: People will use groups to scam! Do not sell, buy, or trade groups on ROBLOX, it is against the rules and is very likely to end up in you losing your group or robux, and limiteds!
013A Bots/autobuyers are common on ROBLOX now and days, whether it's spamming comments on items, or sending trades, or messages, and autobuyers. there are dozens of bots running 24/7 buying any item that go up for cheap (Example: if you sold an item for 1 R$, it will be bought within a few second. It is not recommended to use a bot. AVOID SCAMS: people will often 'give' you a bot, but instead of doing but it's promised it actually steals your account info and limiteds! (Safety tip: DO NOT USE ANY BOTS THAT ANYONE GIVES YOU.)
014A Rares is a term used for limiteds/limitedU items that have low stock, low circulation, and overall few owners. Heres a chart of rarity 10,000+ owners: very common 5,000-9,999 owners: common 2,000-4,999 owners: fairly common 1,000-1,999 owners: uncommon 500-999 owners: unusual 151-499 owners: Semi-Rare 51-150 stock: Rare 10-50 stock: Extremely Rare 1-10 stock: Next to Unobtainable Rares are almost always valued more than their RAP (Recent Average Price), and may be tricky to obtain as they are often referred as having no set value.
0015A Trade link To find your trading link, use this link http://www.roblox.com/Trade/TradeWindow.aspx?TradePartnerID=[INSERT ID HERE] and put your ID at the end (To find your ID, go to your profile and look at the address bar [example: here's my profile link http://www.roblox.com/users/1157409/profile] and your link will be the digits in the link.) // Why would I need to know my trading link? it is useful to give other people your trade link when trying get inbound trades
0016A RAP stands for Recent Average Price, and on an limiteds page it will be labeled as "Recent Average Price" towards the right-hand side of private sellers or above the chart however, in the Trade Windows it is labeled as "Value" Do be mistaken by RAP = Value, often items will be valued above RAP. RAP CAN BE A TRAP: items that sell often you won't have to worry about rap (Example: Riptide) it'll remain stable regardless of RAP. however items with low private sellers (Example: 20 or less) RAP could be a trap and be signals of: projection, hoard, less demand, and rare.
0017A Trade System Features The Trade system haves several features within it, and those are detailing thel 1. You can add robux to a trade, however there is a limit of how much you can add. The amount of Robux cannot exceed 50% of the current offer (Example: If your side of the trade has 5,000 RAP, you can only add 2,500 robux to your side of the trade) *There is a 30% fee on ROBUX added to trades* 2. Maxxed You can get maxxed (Cannot send trades to a user) in one situation: You send the user 5 or more trades within 30-60 minutes. After that happens you must wait another 30-60 minutes to be able to send them trades again. Keep this in mind when sending a user multiple trade offers! 3. Slots You can only add 4 items to each side of a trade, keep this in mind when sending trades!
0018A Donating There is currently no gifting system on ROBLOX, however users bypass this and still give people donations by buying t-shirts (Normally named "Donation") to a player that has Builder Club Membership *There is a 30% fee* Another way of donating is using Group Payouts, the owner of a group can give users Payouts to users as donations *This is a easy way to donate to NBC users, and bypass the 30% market fee* *WARNING: Be aware of users trying to steal your robux by promising donations / promising to pay you back / any other means, only donate knowing you WILL NOT get your robux back*
0019A Liquid items: Liquid items are also referred as "Money items" or "High Demand" they are items that you can sell very fast for near value, these items are ideal items to sell if you are looking for R$. Examples would be *NOT LIMITED TO*: Valkyrie helm, The classic ROBLOX fedora, Clockwork's Headphones.
0020A Don't let failure discourage you being a trader you will have ups and downs, EVERYONE suffers loses, but there is no guaranteed to profit. It's ideal to get second opinions on inbound trades before you accept/deny them. go to the Let's Make a Deal subforum and ask for opinions on inbound trades.
0021A: Seasonal items be aware of what items fit what holiday, they will normally spike during this period and lower directly after the holiday. (I.E Santa's hat, Halloween Bat Shades) they will peak around a week before the holiday (I.E Halloween is 10/31, a halloween themed item will most likely reach its peak around 10/25, but after halloween 11/01, they will lower again).
