Over four days in May 2018, Roblox ran a Memorial Day sale and quietly turned nine of its own catalog items into classic Limiteds, meaning items Roblox made itself, stopped selling, and left players to resell to each other. The Beach House Fedora came out of that weekend with the highest RAP in the group, 2,310,295 R$ across just 261 copies. RAP is short for Recent Average Price, the smoothed average Roblox works out from an item's whole resale history. The Panda Knit was capped the same weekend at 152,926 copies, and you can buy one today for 1,596 R$. Same sale, same rules, and the number that separated them was how many copies had already sold when Roblox flipped the switch.
Quick answer: The Memorial Day 2018 sale (May 25 to May 28, 2018) made nine Roblox items Limited: Panda Knit, WC Ultimates: Citrine Celebration, Noob Attack: Fallen Artemis Fatality, Beat Blasters, Blue Plaid Fedora, Beach House Fedora, The Locksmith's Secret, Star Player Headphones and Musica Frigidus Dominator. The four capped under 600 copies all ended up worth far more than their catalog price, led by the Beach House Fedora at 2,310,295 R$ RAP. The five capped in the thousands still change hands for a few thousand Robux or less.

What was the Roblox Memorial Day 2018 sale? Four days of price cuts, timed items and nine caps
It was a holiday sale on the Roblox catalog that ran from May 25 to May 28, 2018. Most of it was ordinary sale weekend material: price cuts on popular hats and packages, new items dropped in waves, retextures sold with a countdown timer attached. The part collectors still talk about is much smaller. On each of the four days, Roblox gave Limited status to two or three items, most of them hats that had been on sale for years. Limited status freezes supply at however many copies had already sold.
That switch is called a conversion, and our guide to offsale items going Limited covers what happens the moment it fires. Offsale just means Roblox no longer sells the item. Supply stops growing. Owners can list their copies on the resale market. Nobody knows what the item is worth yet, because it has no resale history to go on. Roblox gives no warning and publishes no criteria, which is why sale weekends used to be watched so closely by traders. Our explainer on Roblox sale events covers how these weekends were put together.
The nine items make a clean experiment. All of them were capped in the same four-day window, by the same company, under the same rules. Eight years later their cheapest listings run from 720 R$ to 3,499,999 R$.
Which items went Limited in the Memorial Day 2018 sale? All nine, day by day
The Roblox Wiki's day-by-day record of the sale lists the conversions in order, and Roblox's own item data still shows the price each one carried before it was capped. The table is sorted by copies, fewest first, since that turned out to be the number that mattered. The lowest ask is the cheapest copy a reseller has listed right now.

Four of the nine are headphones or headphone recolors: the Beat Blasters, the Star Player Headphones, the Citrine Celebration from the crystal-textured Workclock Ultimates line, and the Musica Frigidus Dominator from the winged Musica Dominator hats. You can compare all of them against the wider category on our headphone Limiteds collection. Two more are fedoras, the most famous hat line in Roblox trading, tracked live on the fedora collection.
Why is the Beach House Fedora the most expensive item from the sale? 261 copies
Roblox published the Beach House Fedora on May 28, 2015 for 500 Robux, with a catalog description about role playing at a beach house or walking around your little seaside town. It was a holiday-themed hat in a catalog where the status items were dominus crowns and sparkle fedoras, and almost nobody bought it. In almost exactly three years on sale, it sold 261 copies. The Panda Knit, capped the same weekend, had sold 152,926, about 586 times as many.
Then on day three of the sale, Roblox made it Limited. The Roblox Wiki dates the switch to May 27, 2018, one day short of the hat's third birthday. Those 261 copies became the hat's entire permanent supply, scattered across whichever accounts happened to own one that afternoon.
Scarcity like that is what the market calls a gem: a low-copy item people want and almost nobody can supply. The hat now carries a RAP of 2,310,295 R$, it has been favorited 20,930 times, and the cheapest copy any reseller has listed sits at 3,499,999 R$. It holds the highest RAP in the family of summer-themed items we track, which we went through in our summer Limiteds history.
Does the Beach House Fedora's RAP tell you what it would sell for? No
The sale's headline number comes with a caveat. RAP is smoothed across an item's entire sale history, so on a hat with 261 copies and very few trades a year, a small run of sales at stretched prices can drag the average up and keep it there for ages. Trader consensus on the Beach House Fedora's street value, the price experienced collectors would quote you for a copy, sits well below its RAP.
When a RAP runs that far ahead of what people actually pay, traders call the item projected. Our guide to projected items walks through how that pattern gets built and how to spot it early. The practical effect is easy to state: if you value your inventory off RAP alone, a projected item flatters your total, and you find out when you try to sell.
The ranking changes depending on which number you trust
By RAP, the three most valuable items from the sale are the Beach House Fedora (2,310,295 R$), the Citrine Celebration (326,387 R$) and the Musica Frigidus Dominator (70,484 R$). By consensus street value the order flips, with the Citrine Celebration first, the Musica Frigidus Dominator second and the Beach House Fedora third. The Citrine Celebration shows what an actively priced market looks like. Our most recent reseller snapshot of it listed 14 copies, with the three cheapest between 550,000 and 570,000 R$. A cluster that tight means the sellers broadly agree with each other about the price.
The same split shows up if you compare each item's RAP against its cheapest listing. That gap is called the spread. All five of the high-copy items sit within 15% of their RAP, close enough that the two numbers are describing the same market. The three thinnest are listed 51% to 111% above RAP, which is the pattern you get when asking prices and sale prices are being set by different people for different reasons. The Beat Blasters is the odd one out: 567 copies, and its cheapest listing sits about 15% under its RAP, so a buyer there is paying less than the average suggests. Our RAP explainer goes further into what the figure can and can't tell you.
What decided which items became valuable? The copy count at the moment of the cap
The Panda Knit is the control group. It is a cute hat, it cost 35 Robux, and it is the most favorited item of the nine by a mile at 125,211 favorites. Demand was never its problem. By the time Roblox capped it, 152,926 copies existed, and a cheap one is listed for 1,596 R$ today. Popularity on sale is what created that supply.
The math is easy with round numbers. Picture two hats capped on the same afternoon, one with 300 copies sold and one with 150,000. Say one owner in ten eventually decides to sell. The first hat will ever see about 30 copies reach the market, so buyers have to outbid each other for them. The second will see 15,000, so a buyer can just wait for the next listing. Price follows from there, and enthusiasm for a design does not close a 500x gap in supply.
Price before the cap turned out to be a weak signal. The Citrine Celebration cost 20,000 Robux and the Beach House Fedora cost 500, and the cheap one is the scarcer item today. A high price is only one of the reasons a catalog item sells slowly. Being unfashionable works too, as does launching in a quiet month or sitting buried on page nine of the catalog.
What should you do if Roblox caps an item today? Check the copy count first
Conversions still happen. Our research on whether Roblox still makes classic Limiteds found 14 items picking up Limited status during 2026, every one of them an older catalog item that Roblox converted. If you want to be ready for the next one, the Memorial Day batch suggests a short checklist.
Start with the copy count, before the design or the old price. Under about 1,000 copies is where real scarcity begins, and you can browse that whole band on our Limiteds under 1,000 copies collection. Treat the first week of pricing as noise, because a freshly converted item has no sale history and the early asks are guesses. Watch how many copies actually get listed, which you can follow on the items leaderboard and in the Deals feed once you are signed in. And let recent sales set your price, especially on anything carrying a wide spread.
None of this is financial advice. Robux you put into collectibles is Robux you might not get back, and an eight-year-old sale can show you how supply works without telling you where prices go next.

FAQ
Which items went Limited in Roblox's Memorial Day 2018 sale?
Nine items. Panda Knit and WC Ultimates: Citrine Celebration on day one, Noob Attack: Fallen Artemis Fatality and Beat Blasters on day two, Blue Plaid Fedora, Beach House Fedora and The Locksmith's Secret on day three, and Star Player Headphones and Musica Frigidus Dominator on day four. Roblox made all nine itself, so all nine are classic Limiteds.
When was the Roblox Memorial Day 2018 sale?
It ran from May 25 to May 28, 2018, across four days of waves. The Beach House Fedora, the most valuable item to come out of it, was switched to Limited on day three, May 27, 2018.
How much did the Beach House Fedora cost when Roblox sold it?
500 Robux. Roblox published it on May 28, 2015 and kept it at that price until it went Limited three years later, by which point 261 copies had sold. Roblox's item data still shows 500 R$ as its catalog price.
Why is the Beach House Fedora so expensive?
Because only 261 copies exist and plenty of collectors want one. It carries a RAP of 2,310,295 R$ and the cheapest listed copy is 3,499,999 R$. The hat sold badly for three years, which is exactly why so few copies were ever created.
Is the Beach House Fedora's RAP what it would actually sell for?
No. Its RAP sits well above the price traders would quote for a copy, which makes it a projected item. On a hat with 261 copies and few trades, a handful of sales at stretched prices can hold the average up for years. Price it from recent real sales.
Can you still buy these nine items from Roblox?
No. All nine are off sale, so buying a copy from another player is the only route. As of October 2026 the cheapest asks in the batch run from 720 R$ for The Locksmith's Secret up to 3,499,999 R$ for the Beach House Fedora.
Can you trade a Memorial Day 2018 Limited?
Yes. All nine are Roblox-created Limiteds, and Roblox's Marketplace documentation confirms that only Roblox-created Limiteds are tradeable. Both sides of a trade need an active Roblox Plus subscription.
Does Roblox still turn offsale items into Limiteds?
Yes, though rarely and with no announcement. Our tracking found 14 items gaining Limited status during 2026, all of them older catalog stock. The copy count at the moment of conversion is still the one number that decides what the item becomes.
