I lost 120,000 robux from a 2014 Roblox event. Here's how.

Yeah, this one's a little different. If you're wondering where I've been for the month... mostly this. Rest assured that the usual Roblox history videos are still on the way, just felt like talking about this rather than scrambling to research and produce a half-baked concept in 2 weeks. Enjoy...?

Here's a tip: downgrade a major projected for almost equal multiple projecteds. Many new traders and dumb people don't have large items, much easier with smaller projecteds.

Oh, God Nitro's description of sitting in front of a desk all day waiting to see when a limited price will drop to my price range, or when I get a trade request is all too real of me back in 2013-2016! ;_; Also I'm possibly one of the few who has the Detroit Maker Fair Top Hat. It was the first time I went to a "convention" and as intervert that was so awesome to meet some admins and even people who played Roblox in person! I even met a admin who'd later got caught in that Twitch stream scandal! Sadly I forgot his name!

Honestly almost everyone got effected by Rolimons' corrupt market, it sucked and only rare traders r happy about it. Painful af the main value site is forcing deflation like this

[@E-blaze-]

I had a similar experience to this but not with projecteds but Radioactive Man (hat). This hat was OBC only, which made it extremely hard to sell and trade. I had it twice as well as I didn't learn my lesson the first time. It took weeks to find someone willing to give me what I paid for it or profit. Trading can be fun and addicting but like you, I wasn't very good and I never got far. Just happy to own my dream item and be done.

[@doug424]

Actually amazing video I subbed because of the book video (because I am a proud cheezburger: the complete history owner) your channel is actually amazing I might even consider better then Flamingo tbh.

It’s just like a loophole, sometimes this is why I don’t really do these things on roblox at all.

[@breezylandscape9777]

[@Nitrolord]

Yeah it's insane

[@starlitsorrow]

I lost a lot over the years trading especially when I first started at like 15/16 years old but I ended up with the main items I've always wanted so I'm happy. (Headless, dominus formidulosus, violet valk) and I don't think I'll start trading again

[@mat_devv]

As somebody who got the narrator's top hqt from tower defense simulator, at the first week of where every premium could sell it, my friend who i got with, showed me that some try to sell it for thousands of robux, while i told him not to sell it, its a really cool accesory which now got a value of 400-1000, previously 700-800, its just 5/10 dollars from a free ugc, so why not sell it? Well a lot of us who got it dont sell it, its really simple; its one of the proves that were an og, also the price of it only on roblox, are from some pretty... memocan selling it for... just 1 billion. Its just better to keep it than sell it for a profit which you dont have to make since its smth you really would wear on your avatar

I was actually at Bay Area Maker Faire 2014 lmao. I totally forgot to get the free code so I never had the top hat, but my old terminated account was one of the fourty something players who had the bay area maker fedora, which I got via a code which came with a physical Roblox fedora they sold for $20. iirc it gave me two fedoras, the name of the other one is slipping my mind but it was pinstriped. I was an OT'er at the time, and I fully thought I was breaching containment by showing up at the Roblox booth. I remember making a ton of posts about how I had "infiltrated" ahahaha. I still have pictures of the Roblox fedora and the event, I can slide you my ig if you're curious about the event that bankrupted you lol
