How to make money off the Hat Selling thing.

First, don't try buying those new limited hats that are 1­00 robux, unless your trying to get a certain ID. Those hats normally dont ever get you more than 25 robux profit.

--------
IDs-

You can get a lot of money by having certain IDs on hats, faces, or Gears. The most important IDs are #1, #2, #1­3, #6­6­­­6, #1­­3­3­­7, and the last ID for that hat.
I've made 6k robux off buying cheap hat/faces with good IDs, and selling them for a lot to others. You have to be careful, because there are a dozen other people trying to get a certain ID, and when that ID comes up, everyone will be trying to buy it.
First, look at which ID you want to try and get.
When you know which one, wait for your ID to come up. When it gets close, open a new tab, with the same hat, and click the Buy, and leave it. The other window will have the same hat, and you keep refreshing until you get the ID you want. If you wanted the 1337th one, depending on the price, it would be smart to click "Buy" on the other page when the Total So­ld reaches 1334 or so.
If a hat is really expensive, like 1k robux, you have a better chance of getting it, for not everyone is willing to risk 1k robux on an ID.
Make sure you keep refreshin every two seconds, and you get ready to buy on the other page. You most likely wont get the ID you wanted, but if you do, you could make 750 robux more than any other ID hat.
If you do get the hat ID you wanted, if the hat you bought was around 200 robux, price your hat at 2k. That is a high price, most likely it wont get so­ld yet, but when the hats prices even out, and there are less sellers, you might get it sol­d, but you probably will have to lower it. But dont lower too much, because you can get a good amount of money for it, if you wait, and post threads on the forums, and message rich people, asking if they want to buy your ID hat.
Be patient, and you can make a lot of robux on just one hat.
I made 6k robux from selling specific IDs.
Sometimes you get lucky, and you see a specific ID selling for cheap, if the hat is no more than 100 robux selling originally, dont pay more than 500 robux for that good ID, but you will probably make money off it.
----------------
Buying to sell for profit.
---------------
Dont buy any limited hats that are being so­ld for more than 2k people, unless you want a certain ID. If it takes more than two days to sell an Item, than that means it wont make you money, infact, it will probably make you lose money.
So leave the new 100 robux limited hats alone, and search for the good hats. Look for the ol­der hats that are limited now, you have to check the catalog a lot, check all the good hats, every here and there you might come up with a good deal.

Dont buy an ol­­d hat that just became limited, unless it was very cheap, because often times the price of that ol­d hat will go down thru out the day, after 10 hours, then take a look at the 3 best deals, and think if you want to buy them
Try to buy hats that are 2/3 or less than the second best deal, 100 robux lower than the second best deal isnt very good. Usually, you will just have to look around for people selling 5k robux hats for 1k robux, and buy it quickly. Then put it up for sale a little lower than everyone else so you can get your money back, and make some profit.
I bought the Ugly Bucket for 5k, and resol­d it for 10k, and I bought it again for 5k, and now I'm waiting for it to sell at 10k, once it does, I will have made 5,000 robux total off that hat, just by buying and selling it twice.
There is almost always a person selling a good hat for 1 robux, or really low price, I got the Lightbulb hat for 50 robux and reso­ld it for 1999 robux. If the hat is a y.e­ar o­­l­d, 200 robux is most likely a good deal for it.

If the best deal for a hat is 1/2 of the second best deal, it is probably a good deal.

---------
25% off

You have to remember that every time you sell a hat, the price you so­ld it for, gets 25% of it taken, and you get the rest, so you cant buy a 500 robux hat, and then sell it for 650, it doesnt make you a good profit, so you have to be on the lookout for very good deals, not just 50, or 100 robux off the second best price, but 500 robux.
After a week or so, for o­ld hats, the price evens out, you will see that in hats, so it stays around one price, not varying too much, try to remember that price, and keep checking on that hat, when you see that one more private seller is selling it, and hope that he is selling it for a lot less than the avera­ge price.
If the hat average price is selling at 1,000k robux, buying the hat for 500 robux is good, if the average price is 10,000 robux, buying it for around 6k robux is good, but remember, you have to make a profit, AFTER the 25% thing.
-----------
Buying good items.

Sometimes ROBLOX sells really good hats/gear for a low price, hats that LOOK like they will sell for more. Like the two Sword Gears, if you are rich, you should probably buy them, and then sell them for more, but if you only have around 5k, and buying a sword gear, or any item takes more than half of your money, it isnt wise to buy it, unless you know you can get your money back plus profit really quickly.
If you buy a good deal hat, and it is selling for more, but three deals next, you see that its selling for a LOT more, put it up for lower than that high price, eventually the better deal hats will get bought, and you will be the next hat to be bought, with that high price.
Check on the 7.5k+ robux hats often, if you see someone new is selling it, check it, and see if they are selling it for good price, because most of the time, these are the hats that can get you a LOT of money in a short time.
Those hats are the 2007 hats.
----------
Pricing items,
When you buy a hat, look at the Current Deals for it, if you have something like, 5­0­0 , 50­5, 5­2­5, 6­0­0, 1­30­0, dont put it up at 4­99 robux, put it at 12­99, because if you wait a little, you can get a lot more, when the first deals get bought, you will be the next, and get a lot more than you would have by putting it at 4­99 robux.
-----------
----
There will be some hats where you just can't help losing money, often, these hats are going a lot lower than what you payed for, and dont seem to go up to your asking price. Check on that hat every day, and if you see that it wont get bought, put it for sale at a price where you wont lose any money, or make any, if you still cant sell it, either way a long time, because eventually it will sell for more, or keep lowering the price little by little, until it gets bought, atleast you get some money back, if its been that long, and you completely forgot about that hat, you will get some robux that you didnt even know you had.
Be careful, dont buy 10k+ robux hats unless you have more than 20k, or if you are VERY sure it will get you money back, because you dont want to lose 5k robux on a hat, for some people, that is all they made from hat selling, and you would have to go back to buying low cheap hats, and selling high to make up for the loss.
-------
************Basically dont buy new limited hats, and dont pay too much for ol­d expensive ones, and buy low sell high.

Noob is a word.
