A = scammer B = victim
Arbitrary items used to represent values: A has a CWHP, a CF, and 3 smalls, plus a riptide B has a V*, plus an egg
A sends B a trade, CF + 3 smalls for B's V* A then sends B a trade, CWHP + riptide for B's egg A quickly LPPs the riptide so that the second trade errors. A also PMs B saying "5v1 since they can't fit in a single trade, accept all of them"
B, being a respectable, trustworthy guy, decides he likes the offer, and will accept both of the trades, not scamming the poor guy. He quickly clicks accept on both, worried that A will cancel one of them, so he accepts them both as fast as he can.
B doesn't realize that the second trade, in which he would have received CWHP, has errored, because A has LPPed the riptide
B is now down a V*, and in exchange received CF + a few smalls, worth a lot less than V* A now has CWHP + V*

Sends two trades, ones extremely op and ones where you lose money. you tell the person to accept both, not just the op one, accept both. people accept both, the op one gets rejected the non op one goes through. |

Oh lol
They send 2 trades
1 trade is all of their items for your smallest..
2nd trade they send all of your items for their smalls, then they cancel it or something
then they say "ACCEPT BOTH HURRY I GTG SOON"
then they accept
like cord said:
P.A.S
People are stupid

LPP refers to "Lowest Price Possible" It's a term that used to have a meaning, because back before 2012, if you sold an item for under a certain amount (I can't remember the exact calculation, it was something like RAP/10 + 1), it would be sold to ROBLOX, meaning it would be deleted and you would instantly receive the ROBUX. People would calculate the lowest price they could possibly sell an item for before it would be purchased by ROBLOX, and when selling an item for that cheap - cheaper than a snag or a snipe - they'd be LPPing it
ROBLOX removed the "Selling to ROBLOX" feature, and now you can sell a limited for any integer price that can be stored in their database (I thought it was 2B+ before it couldn't fit in their DB's computer memory, but it looks like they reduced the maximum to 10bil - 1)
So now, LPP just means selling for 1 ROBUX
