Trading Deep Dive
What is the 2-day hold?
When you trade for a Limited item, Roblox holds it in your inventory for 2 days before you can trade or sell it again. This is to stop rapid flipping of hacked items.
Is there a tax on trades?
Direct trades (swapping items) are tax-free, but if you add Robux to balance the trade, Roblox takes a 30% fee from that Robux amount.
What are 'Projected' items?
'Projected' items are limiteds that look expensive but are actually cheap. Someone bought one for a high price to trick the chart. Always verify the recent sales history!
What counts as a 'Limited'?
Limited items are catalog accessories with a finite stock. Once sold out, they can only be obtained by trading or buying from other players on the resale market.
Do I need Premium to trade?
Yes. You must have an active Roblox Premium subscription to trade Limited items with other players. However, anyone can buy Limiteds from the catalog/marketplace.
What is a 'poisoned' limited?
A 'poisoned' or 'dirty' limited is an item that was stolen from a compromised account. Avoid trades that seem too good to be true, as Roblox may roll back these transactions.
Is trading better than selling?
Trading items directly (Value for Value) incurs no tax. Selling an item for Robux always incurs the 30% tax. Experienced traders try to upgrade items via direct trades before cashing out.
When is the best time to sell?
Prices often dip during major holidays (like Christmas) when users sell items to buy gifts, and rise during events like 'The Hunt'. Timing your sales can significantly impact ROI.
