A deal on RBX Invest is a Roblox Limited (an item Roblox no longer sells, with a fixed number of copies that players resell) listed for less than its RAP, which is the item's Recent Average Price, Roblox's running average of what it has recently sold for. In other words, a deal is a copy you can buy right now for less than the market's average recent price. The Deals page is a live feed of every listing like that, updated within seconds of a price move, with filters for deal size, RAP and price range. This guide explains how the feed works, what the numbers and colors on each card mean, and the fee math that separates a real deal from a trap.
Quick answer: A deal is a Limited priced below its RAP. Roblox keeps 30% of every resale, so a discount has to be bigger than 30% before flipping the item at RAP makes you any Robux. The Deals feed shows every listing below RAP and lets you filter for the size of discount you actually need.
| Deals feed at a glance | |
|---|---|
| What counts as a deal | A Limited listed below its RAP |
| Deal % formula | (RAP - Price) ÷ RAP |
| Card colors | Gold at 50%+, purple at 40%+, blue at 30%+, green at 20%+, gray below that |
| Roblox resale fee | 30% of the sale, so you keep 70% |
| Break-even for a flip at RAP | A price of 70% of RAP, so the deal must beat 30% |
| Default Min Deal % | 10 |

What does the Deals feed show? Price, RAP and deal size on every card
Sign in first. A free account is all it takes. The feed refreshes fast enough that it would be a scraping target, so it sits behind a login. Once you're in, you get a grid of cards, and each card shows three numbers:
- Price: the lowest resale listing right now.
- RAP: the item's Recent Average Price (full explainer).
- Deal: how far below RAP the price sits, worked out as
(RAP - Price) ÷ RAPand shown as a percentage.
Cards are color-tiered by deal size so the big ones jump out: gold at 50%+, purple at 40%+, blue at 30%+, green at 20%+, and gray below that. Clicking a card opens the item directly on roblox.com. When a deal is real, you don't want extra clicks between you and the purchase.
A timestamp at the bottom of the page shows how many seconds old the data is, and the count line shows how many deals match your filters versus the total available. Price changes stream in live and patch the cards in place, so you never need to refresh. (One exception: the UGC tab with custom filters refreshes on a ~30-second cycle instead of streaming.)
Tabs, sorting and filters: how do you narrow the Deals feed?
Two tabs split the market. Regular Limiteds is the default and covers the full Classic catalog (classic Limiteds are the ones Roblox itself released). UGC Limiteds shows the top 200 current deals, ranked by deal size (UGC Limiteds are limited items made by independent creators, sold and resold on the Marketplace).
Four sorts: Best deal % (the default), Recent price update (what just moved, which is useful for catching fresh mispricings before anyone else does), Lowest price (cheap entries first), and Highest RAP (big-ticket items first).
Four filters: Min Deal % (defaults to 10, so trivial discounts don't clutter the feed), Min RAP, Min Price and Max Price. The Clear button resets everything back to the defaults.
When is a deal actually profitable? Only once the discount beats Roblox's 30% fee
This is the part that keeps you out of trouble. Roblox takes 30% of every resale, so you keep 70% of the sale price. If your plan is to buy a deal and flip it at RAP:
profit = 0.70 × RAP - price paid
Break-even is a price of 70% of RAP. Put another way, a deal below 30% loses money if you flip at RAP. That's why the color tiers only start meaning "profitable flip" at blue (30%+), and only get comfortable at purple and gold. A green 20% deal is a discount for a collector who wanted the item anyway. It is not flip material.
Practical thresholds:
| Your goal | Min Deal % to set |
|---|---|
| Discount on something you'd buy anyway | 10-20% |
| Flip with thin margin | 35%+ |
| Flip with real margin for RAP slippage | 40-50%+ |
The margin above 30% is your cushion. RAP itself drops when cheap sales print (a sale "prints" when it goes through and gets recorded, and each one drags the average toward its own price), so the RAP you see when you buy is higher than the RAP you'll be selling into.
Why is it cheap? Always ask before you buy
A 60% deal on a liquid item (one that trades often, so it converts back to Robux easily) disappears in seconds. One that sits in the feed for hours is telling you something. Before buying anything sizable, open the item's page on RBX Invest and check three things:
- Volume. Does this item actually trade? A big discount against a RAP that hasn't been tested by a sale in weeks is a discount against fiction.
- The RAP curve. A recent vertical spike followed by a "discounted" listing is the classic projected item pattern. A projected item is one whose RAP has been pumped up by fake or coordinated sales, so the RAP is inflated and the "deal" is the trap.
- Holder concentration. If a whale (a trader with enough Robux to move a market alone) holds half the supply, they can flood the market below your entry price whenever they like.
Speed matters on real deals, but a two-minute check costs less than a fake one. If you're new to flipping mechanics in general (holds, fees, listing strategy), read the UGC reselling guide first. And the standard reminder: none of this is financial advice. Snipe with Robux you can afford to lose.
What Deals workflow actually works? Set a floor, sort by fresh moves, verify, then commit
- Set your floor. Min Deal % at 35-40 if you're flipping, and Min RAP at 1,000+ to filter out dust, where the absolute profit is pennies.
- Sort by Recent price update during active hours. Fresh price drops are where the undiscovered deals are; the Best-deal sort shows everyone the same list.
- Verify fast, buy faster. Chart shape, volume, concentration, then commit. Deals at high discount percentages survive for minutes.
- Remember your own resale timing. A holding period is the stretch after you buy when Roblox won't let you relist the item. UGC copies bought on the resale market can hold for up to 7 days before you can relist, and Classic resale purchases carry the same up-to-7-day hold. Price your exit for the market a week out.
Every card in the feed is built from RBX Invest's live tracking of resale listings and RAP, and the 30% figure is Roblox's own resale cut.
FAQ
Do I have to pay to use the Deals feed?
No. It's included with a free account. Sign-in is required because the feed refreshes within seconds and would otherwise be scraped. Every tier, including Free, gets the same feed; see Membership for what the paid tiers add elsewhere.
What's a good Deal % to filter for?
It depends on your goal. For flips, remember the 30% marketplace fee: below a 30% deal you lose Robux flipping at RAP, so set 35%+ as your minimum. For items you personally want, any double-digit discount is fine.
What do the card colors on the Deals feed mean?
They show the size of the discount. Gold is 50%+ below RAP, purple is 40%+, blue is 30%+, green is 20%+, and gray is anything smaller. Because Roblox keeps 30% of a resale, blue is the first tier where a flip at RAP can make money.
Why does the UGC tab show fewer items than the Classic tab?
The Classic tab carries the full catalog. The UGC tab surfaces the top 200 current deals ranked by deal %, because with over ten thousand UGC Limiteds tracked, the feed keeps the tab focused on the listings actually worth a look. Setting a price or RAP filter (or lowering the deal floor) queries the wider dataset behind it.
Someone bought the deal before me. How?
The feed is fast, but so are other traders. Sorting by Recent price update, keeping filters tight so real deals aren't buried, and pre-verifying items you'd buy at the right price are the honest edges. There's no reservation system, so the first buyer wins.
How soon can I resell a deal I bought?
Not for up to 7 days. A UGC copy bought on the resale market can hold for up to 7 days before you can relist it, and a Classic resale purchase carries the same up-to-7-day hold. Price your exit for where the market will be a week out.
A card shows a huge deal on an item I've never heard of. Should I buy it?
Check it first. Enormous deal percentages on unknown items are the most common projected-item signature: an inflated RAP, a "discounted" price, and a real loss for whoever buys. The projected items guide shows the pattern in detail.
