How to sell limited item on roblox

Limited item

The current limited label.

The old limited label.

Limited is the label given to avatar shop items available in finite quantities. They are initially regular items that are sold by Roblox for a set price until they are taken off-sale, or in the case of a limited unique item, until there are no more available copies. When this occurs, they will become limited items, which can be traded or resold for Robux by owners of the item with an active Roblox Premium subscription.

Concept

Limited items are classed as ‘collectibles’ by Roblox, which means that multiple copies of a specific Limited item can be attained and stored in a user’s inventory. They are a quintessential part of the trading system, and because of their ability to be traded and resold, they are a very large part of the Roblox economy in general.

The Recent Average Price (or ‘RAP’) of an item shows the average sale price for the item in question over a recent period in time. This value can fluctuate heavily; for example, one day the Beautiful Hair for Beautiful Space People may have a RAP of over 8,000 Robux, and other days it may drop to lower than 6,000 Robux. A limited item’s demand can be determined by monitoring its RAP.

Trading

Selling

Sell Collectible menu

After purchasing or trading for a limited item, users can resell the item for Robux. This feature allows users to sell back unwanted items. Item selling can be done through the item page itself by clicking the dropdown in the top right hand side of the page and then clicking Sell. Only users with an active Roblox Premium subscription can sell items.

When selling items, keep the lowest current price in mind. When looking to get Robux quickly, a limited item is typically sold for lower than the lowest current price. If the item is speculated to raise soon, it can be put on sale at a higher price; then, when the item raises, it will be bought for the higher price.

Limited unique

Example of a Limited unique

Limited unique (LimitedU) items are those which are sold in specific quantities with a fixed price upon release and immediately become available for resale or tradable once sold out, compared to limited items which generally go offsale as regular items until they are manually selected to become limited. There are also serial numbers attached to the item depending on when the item was purchased. Limited unique items are often seen as more valuable than regular limited items, and this is amplified by demand for certain serial numbers, which also signify when the unique copy was purchased (#1, #14, #42, #1337, etc.).

Criticism

Limited unique

The amount of bots (or ‘item snipers’), purchasing limited unique items as soon as they come out, or buying up multiple copies of an existing limited at the same time, has caused a large amount of backlash. It is a prominent issue with low-stock items such as the Immortal Swords due to their much higher chance of skyrocketing in value for the owners.

Glitches

Some issues arose from the release of certain limited items in late 2018 and early 2019. A few examples of these are Horns of the Creature, Torque the Blue Orc and the Wanwood Autumn King Crown. Eventually this resulted in Roblox placing the release of new limited unique items on hold until further notice. The most recent bug, which allowed players to obtain limited items for free while others have already spent Robux on them, has been speculated as one of the main causes of the drought of new limiteds, since many items that had these bugs lost its original value.

Return

It took nearly 2 years for more limiteds to be released after the Ice Valkryie and the Viridian Domino Crown, namely sponsored items like the Gucci Dionysus Bag. After UGC was announced, Roblox noted in a Frequently Asked Question response that UGC creators would be able to make limited items sometime in the future, and that limited and limited unique items made by Roblox would return as soon as the issues with them were fixed. [1]

On May 7, 2022, the first non-sponsored limited item came out, being Sinister S.. Many other items have gone limited since then. Around late May 2022, several limited items have gone limited in a short span of time, including notable items such as Silverthorn Antlers, Immortal Sword: Vlad’s Lament, and the Blizzard Beast Mode Bandana, coinciding with Memorial Day, however a sale remains unconfirmed and as speculation.

General

Inflation

In certain times (usually on Christmas or Black Friday), Limited items shoot up in price very quickly, and takes long to go down back to its original prices. This is from the higher amounts of Robux being purchased to purchase limiteds. Many traders and players dislike this certain time due to «cheap» items like the Shaggy originally being sold for a reasonable price, but then shooting up to 2-5 times the original price once inflation begins to take effect on the market. (images below for more reference)

Shaggy’s price on September 10th 2016.

Now inflation has made shaggy worth over 1,100 robux!

Market

Although limited items follow the general rule of supply and demand, many players still dislike this because of instances such as an item being sold for 50 Robux rising to 50,000 in a short span of time. Many players also dislike instances where there are no resellers for an item, making it impossible to get until someone puts a copy on sale. This issue is exacerbated by ‘hoarders’, a term used to describe users who buy or trade for a high quantity of a specific Limited item in order to take those copies out of circulation with the end goal of increasing the item’s value to be resold or traded at a hefty profit.

Another issue arises from price-warring, which begins with two or more users wanting to sell a copy of a limited item, and continuing to lower the price so that their copy is sold first. In large magnitudes, this issue can greatly impact the value and RAP of a limited item, which also hinders others from selling copies at a reasonable price.

Glitches (Limiteds)

In early 2021, there was a catalog glitch with prices and limited items being unpurchasable, but in March 2021, the problem was mostly fixed, until April, where certain items have a pricing glitch if sold under RAP. most items that experience this are the recent Gucci Garden items, as competitive pricing causes items to be sold under RAP, making the items glitched until someone purchases the item with the right amount of Robux. In 2022 there was a glitch where people could buy resold limiteds for free. This was an issue because the resellers wouldn’t get any Robux when this happened.

Trading

As with all online games that have trade systems, there are users who seek illegitimate gains through scamming. Since Roblox introduced trading in 2012, there have been many deceptive tricks that users have employed (such as the infamous ‘double-trade’ scam) in order to con others out of their limiteds.

In some cases, malicious users may obtain a poisoned limited on purpose, attempt to quickly trade it off to someone else, with the intended result of the recipient being terminated. Users have called on Roblox to be more careful when reviewing these incidents.

Permanent Removal

Roblox has sometimes removed limited items from terminated players’ inventories, even though they are already considered to be deleted forever when the user is initially terminated. This is often for players that use the «One Time Rollback» feature. One known example was ContentCool in 2016; due to Linkmon99 getting compromised several times and ContentCool purchasing his ‘stolen’ limiteds, almost all of ContentCool’s items were taken after his termination.

Since Roblox does not manually resell or redistribute a terminated player’s limiteds, they are essentially gone forever, and this has led to concerns from many users because of the effects on the limited economy as well as the site’s history.

Special terms

An example of a rare limited, Wings of Liberty.

Users consider an item rare when it has a low stock (usually less than 100 copies in existence). Due to the low stock, the recent average prices (also known as RAP) may be low, and the item is thus perceived of less value, however may be traded for amounts much larger than its RAP due to its rarity. Rare items are the most expensive items in the catalog and the reason for their low RAP is because hardly any copies of them are ever sold.

High demand

An example of a high demand limited, the Valkyrie Helm.

A limited with high demand is wanted by a large number of people, which is why many of these items have moderate stocks but are worth considerably more than you would expect. These types of limiteds commonly sell daily and have ascending prices. An item can be high demand mostly when it has a high stock and is bought several times a day.

Projected

Example of a projection. The sudden spike in RAP and quantity purchased on that day compared to the usual pattern indicates that a user or multiple users have intentionally bought the item at a high price in order to inflate the Recent Average Price.

A limited that is projected is intentionally sold for a very high price while the RAP dramatically rises extremely high. They mostly vary with low stock (around 10,000 or less) and are not sold as much by users. Once a limited is projected, it will start to sell under RAP due to the unexpected price change and rapidly descend to its original selling price and RAP. These limiteds are not as favored by the community and are considered to be ‘foul’ or ‘scamming’ items, although some may attempt to take advantage of the price illusion.

LPPing (LPP meaning Lowest Price Possible) is the opposite of projecting, and is usually done in an attempt to lower an item’s value. For example, if a limited with 100,000 RAP that had barely sold in the last 30 days was suddenly put up for only 1 Robux and purchased, the RAP would be decreased

Poisoned

Example of a trade containing poisoned items. The fact that the user is being offered an astronomically higher value of items for what the other party wants in return is a red flag that those items may be poisoned.

A poisoned item is one that has been stolen from a user’s account. These items contain the risk of the owner being banned without awareness. They are not commonly traded around but can be traded for without notice. Bans from harboring a poisoned item can be appealed, but it depends if the owner intentionally or unintentionally traded for the item (often judged by whether they offered lower or higher value in RAP for the item).

Investor Guide

On Roblox Premium members have the ability to buy and sell Hats. Hats that can be sold are known as Limited’s and Limited U’s. Many users of Roblox use these hats as a secondary form of currency. In this guide you will learn how to buy and sell these Limited items in a way that your money will work for you, and multiply.

Limited’s vs Limited U’s

In this guide you will hear about two different kinds of Limited’s. Limited’s and Limited U’s. What is the difference?

Limited’s are initially regular items published to the catalog with a price. Later on, those items are put offsale and has to be picked manually by Roblox to become limited. They are later resold or traded by Premium members.

When Limited U’s are first put on sale, only a limited stock of them are sold, (i.e. 5 Faerie Wings). When the number of them that were put on sale are sold, private sellers can sell their instance of the Limited U at whatever price they choose. Note: Each Limited U has a number. Some buyers wish to buy all the Limited’s of a certain number (i.e. I want every Limited U with the number 14). When you look at the private sales it will list the serial that each seller is selling. Usually, the lower the number, the more valuable it is.

Knowing Which Limited’s to Buy

Certain Limited’s/Limited U’s aren’t as popular as others. When buying a Limited you want to make sure that it is an item that’s price will increase so you can generate revenue. There is no sure-fire way to know if a Limited will be popular but here are some items that usually go popular:

Reading the Average Sales Graph

Every Limited U item has an Avg. Sales Price graph. The graph shows how the prices of items have been affected over a long amount of time.

As you can see from the red lines. The graph shows the circled items price at a certain date. If the graph shows the line going down or flat-lining on the right side. That means recently the price has not been changed or has declined. These items are not smart to buy because chances are people have lost interest in them.

On the other hand, if the green line is gradually going up. That doesn’t always mean it’s smart to buy either. If the price has been increasing greatly and it is at a ridiculously high price. Then chances are it will be bought less and the price will begin to drop. It is best to go for items that are beginning to rise, such as the graph above. It’s not always guaranteed, but the chance of the item increasing in value and you earning revenue is high. You must think would I buy this item at this price? Usually the buyers are thinking the same thing. If the answer is no, don’t get the item because it will most likely drop in price and you will lose money.

Deciding a Price to Sell an Item at

More than often I have seen people sell an item and get a lower price then they originally bought it for. There are a few ways that, that ends up happening.

Remember the above listed things make you lose money.

When deciding a price you have to think about these things.
