Is RAP the same as an item's real value?

No. RAP is a rolling average of actual recent sale prices, while "value" (the community's current price estimate) can move ahead of or behind RAP depending on how fast sentiment is shifting and how often the item actually trades.

Why did my item's RAP not move even though I saw a big sale?

The RAP formula only shifts the average by one-tenth of the gap between the old RAP and the new sale price, specifically to prevent single trades from swinging the number. A big outlier sale nudges RAP, it doesn't reset it.

How do I know if an item is illiquid?

Check recent sales volume and the spread between listed resale prices and actual completed sales. Few sales per week, a wide gap between asking prices and what buyers pay, or dependence on one or two known collectors are all signs of thin liquidity.

Should I ignore RAP when pricing a resale listing?

No — use it as your anchor, then adjust based on current sentiment and how quickly you need the sale. Listing far above RAP with no fresh demand behind it usually just means a long wait.

Does the marketplace fee affect how I should value my inventory?

Yes. Since Roblox takes 30% on Limited resales (a 10/20 split between creator and Roblox on UGC Limiteds), your spendable Robux from any sale is 70% of the actual sale price — factor that into any real-world valuation, not just the RAP total.
