Website FAQ

Virtual Market Guide is an unofficial third-party reference for Roblox trading communities. We publish value lists, market guides, and website tools designed to help players make better, more informed trading decisions across 30+ Roblox games.

No. Virtual Market Guide is not affiliated with Roblox Corporation and is not endorsed by the developers of the games we cover. The site is an independent community resource built by and for players.

We update content using a mix of observed trade behavior, community submissions, moderator review, and internal editorial checks. We aim for practical market accuracy, not official pricing.

We prioritize games with real player-to-player trading economies and enough ongoing demand to justify maintenance. If a game has weak or unclear trading support, it may not stay in the active catalog.

The best place is the support email. Include the game name, the item or pet, and any recent trade context that helps explain the issue.

We merged game FAQs into the guide pages to keep each game’s information in one place. That makes the content easier to browse and avoids splitting related advice across separate pages.

Yes. Ads help fund hosting, maintenance, and ongoing updates. We are building the site so monetization supports the business without turning the experience into clutter.

Yes, Virtual Market Guide is completely free to use. All value lists, guides, and search tools are available without charge. We do not gate core features behind paywalls, subscriptions, or premium tiers.

We aim to refresh values on a daily basis for active markets. Major shifts in demand, new item releases, or game updates may trigger additional updates outside the normal schedule. You can check the Updates page to see recent changes.

Our values are community-driven estimates based on observed trades, submissions, and market analysis. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that every value perfectly reflects the current market at all times. Values can change rapidly based on game updates, hype cycles, and supply changes. Always use our values as a reference point, not as an absolute guarantee, and do your own research before making high-value trades.

We currently cover 30+ Roblox trading games, including Adopt Me, Blox Fruits, Murder Mystery 2, Pet Simulator 99, Fisch, Grow a Garden, Blade Ball, Anime Defenders, King Legacy, Royale High, Jailbreak, and many more. You can view the full list on our Markets page or homepage.

You can use the search palette (accessible via the search icon in the header) to find items, pets, fruits, or guides across all supported games. You can also browse game-specific pages and use filters to narrow down results by tier, rarity, demand, or type.

Tiers represent the general value bracket of an item within its game economy. While exact tier names vary by game, they generally indicate relative scarcity and trade value. Higher-tier items are typically rarer, more difficult to obtain, and command higher trade value. Check each game’s guide page for specific tier explanations.

Demand indicates how actively players are seeking an item. High-demand items trade quickly and may command overpays. Trend shows whether an item's value is currently rising, stable, or falling. These metrics help you time your trades and understand market momentum.

No. Virtual Market Guide does not facilitate, encourage, or provide valuations for real-money transactions (RMT). Our values reflect in-game trade economies only. Trading virtual items for real money often violates game terms of service and carries significant scam risk.

We welcome community suggestions for new games. To request a game, contact us via the support email and include the game name, evidence of an active trading economy, and any relevant community size or demand data. We prioritize games with established player-to-player trading.

Rarity is typically assigned by the game developers and indicates how difficult an item is to obtain through normal gameplay. Value is a community-driven estimate of what the item actually trades for. An item can be common in rarity but high in value if it has strong demand (often called "Preppy" value in some games), or rare but low in value if no one wants it.

Sudden value changes usually happen because of: (1) a major game update that buffs, nerfs, or reworks an item; (2) a new release that makes an old item more or less desirable; (3) a duping or exploit wave that floods the market; (4) a content creator hyping an item; or (5) seasonal events affecting supply and demand. We monitor these events and update values as quickly as possible.

Our data and content are protected by copyright. You may not scrape, bulk-download, redistribute, or republish our value lists without explicit written permission. If you are interested in using our data for a project, please contact us at contact@virtualmarketguide.com to discuss licensing options.

We do not currently have a dedicated mobile app. However, the Website is fully responsive and optimized for mobile browsers. You can access all features, value lists, and guides directly from your phone or tablet.

Virtual Market Guide is an informational resource only—we cannot recover lost items, ban scammers, or mediate trade disputes. If you were scammed, report the incident to the game's official support team or moderators. To avoid scams in the future: always use official in-game trade windows, verify items before confirming, never do "trust trades," and double-check values before agreeing to a deal.

"Adds" refer to additional items offered alongside the main item in a trade to balance value. For example, if Item A is worth slightly more than Item B, the trader offering Item B might include "adds" (lower-value items) to make the trade fair. Understanding when and what to add is a key trading skill.

Different value lists may use different methodologies, data sources, and update schedules. Some lists rely more heavily on community votes, while others prioritize observed trade data or input from high-tier traders. Market values are also inherently fluid. We recommend cross-referencing multiple sources and using your own judgment, especially for high-value trades.

An overpay is when you offer more value than an item is typically worth, often to secure a high-demand item quickly. An underpay is when you offer less than the typical value. Traders sometimes intentionally overpay for items they desperately want or believe will rise in value. Be cautious about underpaying, as most experienced traders will reject unfair offers.

No, you do not need an account to browse value lists, read guides, or use search tools. Accounts may be required in the future for features like saved favorites and trade alerts. Account registration and authentication are currently under maintenance.

Virtual Market Guide is designed to work on all modern web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. The site is responsive and works on desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. For the best experience, we recommend keeping your browser updated to the latest version.

The best ways to support us are: (1) using the Website and sharing it with friends; (2) providing feedback and reporting incorrect values via the support email; (3) disabling ad blockers on our site so ad revenue can help fund hosting; and (4) engaging with our community and contributing constructive suggestions for improvements.

If and when accounts are available, we collect only the minimum information necessary (such as email and username). We do not sell your data. You can review our full Privacy Policy for detailed information about data collection, storage, and your rights.

If you encounter a bug, broken link, or technical issue, please contact us through our support email. Include your browser type, device, a description of the issue, and screenshots if possible. We typically respond within 24-48 hours and aim to patch confirmed bugs within 1-3 days.

No. All guides, strategies, and advice published on Virtual Market Guide are unofficial and community-written. They reflect player experiences and observations, not official developer guidance. Game mechanics and economies change frequently, so always verify critical details in-game.

RAP (Recent Auction Price) is an in-game metric used by some Roblox games (like Pet Simulator 99) to estimate item value based on recent sales. While helpful as a rough guideline, RAP can be manipulated by scammers who buy their own items at inflated prices. We recommend cross-referencing RAP with trusted external value lists like ours before making major trades.

Absolutely. We welcome community feedback to keep our guides accurate and up to date. Use the support email to submit corrections, additions, or suggestions for any guide. Please include the game name, guide section, and the specific change you are proposing.

Many items trade within a range rather than at a fixed price because market conditions fluctuate. A range reflects the typical minimum and maximum values we have observed. Items with high volatility, low trading volume, or recent updates are more likely to have wider ranges.

Limited or retired items are no longer obtainable through normal gameplay. Once their event ends, their supply is permanently capped. These items often appreciate in value over time as new players join and want to complete their collections. Seasonal event items, retired eggs, and old battle pass rewards are common examples.

Seasonal events typically introduce new limited items and temporarily increase trading activity. During an event, new items may be cheap because supply is high. After the event ends, their values often rise as supply is cut off. Smart traders often buy event items during the final days of an event and hold them for months to sell at a premium.

Major game updates can shift entire economies overnight. If you notice that a recent update has made a value list outdated (for example, a new trading system was introduced or values changed drastically), please let us know via the support email. We prioritize updating lists for games that have undergone significant changes.

Notification features are planned for a future update. In the meantime, you can check the Updates page regularly to see recent value shifts and site changes. We also recommend bookmarking your favorite game pages and checking back before making major trades.

Our tables display items with columns for name, tier, rarity, demand, trend, and estimated value. You can click column headers to sort, use the search bar to filter, and click on individual items to see more detailed information. Each game page may have slightly different columns depending on what data is relevant for that trading economy.

No. We do not ask for, collect, or store your Roblox username, password, or account credentials. Never share your Roblox login information with anyone, including websites claiming to be affiliated with us. Virtual Market Guide operates entirely outside of Roblox and does not need access to your account.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember your preferences and improve functionality. We use cookies and local storage to remember your display preferences, filter settings, and other non-sensitive choices. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. See our Privacy Policy for more details.

You can reach us via the support email or by emailing contact@virtualmarketguide.com. We typically respond within 24-48 hours. For bug reports, include your browser and device information. For value corrections, include the game name, item name, and supporting trade context.

Our core value lists and guides will always remain free. In the future, we may introduce optional premium features (such as advanced alerts, portfolio tracking, or ad-free browsing), but the fundamental information that helps traders make decisions will remain accessible to everyone at no cost.

Follow these golden rules: (1) Always use the official in-game trade window; (2) Never do "trust trades" or cross-trades; (3) Verify item names, rarities, and traits before confirming; (4) Check values on our site before agreeing to deals; (5) If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is; (6) Take screenshots of high-value trades; (7) Do not share your account credentials with anyone.

Yes. Automated scraping, bulk data extraction, and the use of bots or crawlers to access our data are strictly prohibited without our express prior written consent. Violations may result in IP bans, legal action, and termination of access. If you need bulk access to our data for a legitimate project, please contact us to discuss licensing.

If we send you emails or notifications, you can unsubscribe by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email. You can also contact us directly to request removal from mailing lists. We honor all reasonable opt-out requests promptly.

We do not allow user-posted advertisements, spam, or self-promotion in comments, listings, or submissions. If you are interested in official advertising partnerships, please contact us at contact@virtualmarketguide.com to discuss sponsored content or ad placement opportunities.

In some games (like Blox Fruits), a Physical item is a one-time consumable in your inventory. A Permanent item (or Gamepass) is an account unlock that you can equip at any time. Permanent versions are typically worth vastly more than physical versions because of their long-term utility. Always clarify which version you are trading for.

Duplication glitches and exploit waves can flood the market with copies of rare items, temporarily crashing their value. When a dupe wave is detected, we may flag affected items or place them on hold until the market stabilizes. Values usually recover slowly after developers patch the exploit and remove duplicated items.

Each Roblox game operates as a separate economy with its own currency, trading rules, and player base. An item concept (like a "Legendary Pet") may exist in multiple games but have completely different values because of differences in supply, demand, utility, and how the game economy is structured.

We appreciate community interest in localization. Currently, the Website is available in English only. If you are interested in contributing translations for a specific language, please contact us to discuss collaboration opportunities. All translations must be accurate and officially approved before publication.

Each game page displays the most recent data available from our servers. For major games, updates typically happen daily. If a value list has not been updated in several days, it may be because the game economy has been stable or because we are verifying new data. The Updates page shows a log of recent changes across all games.

A provisional or estimated value indicates that the item is newly released, rarely traded, or lacks sufficient data for a confident valuation. These values represent our best guess based on initial trade observations, rarity tier, and comparison to similar items. Provisional values are updated frequently as more trade data becomes available. Always exercise extra caution when trading for provisional items.

By default, value lists are typically sorted by tier or value in descending order, showing the highest-value items first. However, you can click any column header to sort by name, rarity, demand, trend, or other available metrics. Your sort preference may be remembered for your current session using local storage.

Direct cross-game comparisons are not meaningful because each game operates its own independent economy with different currencies, trading rules, and player bases. A "Legendary" pet in one game may have a completely different value than a "Legendary" unit in another. We recommend evaluating items only within their native game economy.

Our value tools and comparison utilities allow you to search, filter, and sort items within a game to quickly find relevant market data. You can filter by tier, rarity, demand level, type, or trend direction. These tools are designed to make research faster so you can make informed trading decisions without scrolling through hundreds of entries.

Items may be removed from value lists for several reasons: (1) the item was permanently removed from the game by developers; (2) the item is no longer tradable; (3) the item was mistakenly included as a duplicate; (4) the game economy shifted and the item no longer has measurable trade value; or (5) we are re-evaluating the item and will re-add it once accurate data is available.

Not always. While many event-limited items appreciate after their event ends, some lose value if demand is low or if the item is widely obtained. The safest event investments are usually items with strong visual appeal, competitive utility, or completionist demand. Do your research before investing heavily in any event item.

Inflation occurs when the in-game currency or high-tier items lose purchasing power over time because more currency or copies enter the economy than leave it. In inflated economies, prices for rare items rise dramatically in nominal terms. Traders often shift from currency-based trading to item-based barter systems (using high-demand items as currency) to preserve value.

If you discover a security vulnerability, please contact us immediately at contact@virtualmarketguide.com with "Security Vulnerability" in the subject line. Include a detailed description, steps to reproduce, and potential impact. We take security seriously and will investigate all reports promptly. We ask that you do not publicly disclose vulnerabilities until we have had a reasonable time to address them.

We may participate in affiliate marketing programs with third-party services related to gaming, hosting, or trading tools. This means we may earn a commission if you click on certain links or make purchases through partner sites. Affiliate relationships do not influence our value estimates or editorial content. Any affiliate links will be clearly disclosed where required.

Cross-trading is the practice of trading items between different games (e.g., giving an Adopt Me pet in exchange for a Blox Fruits fruit). This is extremely high-risk because there is no official system to enforce these trades. Most cross-trades result in scams because one player must go first with no guarantee the other will follow through. We strongly advise against cross-trading.

In many games, Gamepasses and Permanent items are account-bound and cannot be traded directly. However, their existence affects the value of tradable items by changing the overall economy. In games where permanent fruits or pets are tradable (like Blox Fruits), they typically command the highest values due to their permanent utility and long-term demand.

The term "clean" means an item has not been altered, modified, duplicated, or tagged with negative status markers. In some games, a "clean" pet or item is worth more than one with potions, mutations, or other modifications applied. In Pet Simulator X, "clean" also refers to pets that have not been transferred to Pet Simulator 99. Always clarify what "clean" means in the specific game you are trading in.

Yes, here are common trading terms: W/L (Win/Loss — was the trade good or bad?); F/L (Fair/Loss); OP (Overpay); UP (Underpay); Adds (extra items to balance a trade); NTY (No Thank You); NLF (Not Looking For); ISO (In Search Of); Quick Sell (selling below value for fast currency); Hoard (buying many copies to control supply). Understanding these terms helps you communicate efficiently with other traders.

Use the support email to report guide errors. Please include the game name, the specific guide section, the incorrect information, and what the correct information should be (with sources if available). We review guide corrections weekly and push updates as part of our regular content maintenance cycle.

Social media and community channels are planned for the future. In the meantime, the best ways to stay updated are to bookmark the Updates page and check the Website regularly. We may announce official community channels on the homepage or updates page when they become available.

A tier list ranks items into broad categories (like S, A, B, C tiers) based on relative power, utility, or general desirability without specific numerical values. A value list assigns estimated trade values to items, often expressed in terms of currency or relative to other items. Virtual Market Guide primarily publishes value lists with both tier and numerical context to give traders the most useful information.

Notes and warnings provide critical context that raw numbers cannot capture. An item might have a note warning about recent duping, an upcoming nerf, unstable demand, or that its value is provisional. These annotations help traders understand risks that pure value data might hide. Always read notes before making major trades.

Press the search icon or use the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl/Cmd + K) to open the search palette. Type the name of an item, pet, fruit, or game to see instant results. You can navigate results with arrow keys and press Enter to jump directly to the item or guide page. The search indexes all active games, items, and FAQs for comprehensive coverage.

Mutations are cosmetic or stat-altering variations of base items. In games like Creatures of Sonaria, Dragon Adventures, and Fisch, mutations like Glimmer, Shiny, Albino, or Diamond can multiply an item's value. However, in some games mutations are purely cosmetic and add only modest value. Check the specific game's guide page for how mutations are valued in that economy.

We only link to reputable external resources such as partner value lists, official game pages, and trusted community hubs. All external links are clearly labeled with an external badge. However, you should always verify the URL before entering any personal information. We are not responsible for the content or security of third-party websites.

Some games display trade history, previous owners, or provenance tags on items. In games like Jailbreak, trade history helps verify an item's legitimacy and can affect collector value. Items with clean trade history (no suspicious previous owners) are generally preferred. In most games, however, trade history is invisible and does not affect value.

Values are marked unstable or volatile when there is high disagreement among traders, rapid recent fluctuations, or external factors (like rumors of a nerf/buff, duping waves, or content creator hype) that make the value unpredictable. During volatile periods, we recommend waiting for the market to stabilize before making high-value trades, or using wide value ranges to account for uncertainty.

An item can be rare without being meta, and meta without being rare. Meta (most effective tactics available) means the item is currently dominant in competitive play, speedruns, or leaderboard pushes. Meta items have high utility demand in addition to scarcity. A rare but useless item may have low value, while a common but overpowered item may trade at a premium. Check both rarity and demand columns on our value lists.

No. Virtual Market Guide does not and will not offer trade mediation, escrow, middleman services, or trade guarantees. We are an informational platform only. If someone claims to be an official Virtual Market Guide middleman, they are impersonating us. Never give your items to a third party claiming to represent this Website.

If a game shuts down or permanently disables its trading system, we will archive the value list for historical reference but stop updating it. Archived lists are marked as outdated and should not be used for active trading. We monitor game announcements and developer updates to anticipate these changes and communicate them on our Updates page.

You can bookmark any game page using your browser's built-in bookmark feature. In the future, we plan to add user accounts with the ability to save favorite games, create watchlists, and receive alerts when specific items change value. For now, browser bookmarks are the best way to keep quick access to the games you trade in most frequently.

Yes, you may take screenshots of our value lists for personal reference or to share with friends in private conversations. However, you may not republish screenshots as if they were your own content, remove our branding or watermarks, or use screenshots to create competing value list websites without permission. When sharing publicly, we appreciate credit and a link back to Virtual Market Guide.

Sharking is the practice of deliberately misleading a less experienced trader about an item's value to obtain it at a steep discount. While not always a technical "scam" (since the trade may use the official trade window), it is considered predatory and unethical. Virtual Market Guide exists in part to combat sharking by making accurate values accessible to everyone. If you suspect sharking, educate the victim and report the behavior to game moderators.

We do not assign real-money or Robux values because: (1) real-money trading (RMT) violates the terms of service of most Roblox games; (2) Robux values fluctuate based on exchange rates and dev-ex rates; (3) in-game economies use barter systems where items trade for other items rather than currency. Our values are expressed in relative terms (e.g., "worth 2 Frost Dragons") or in-game currency where applicable.

Always check that the URL in your browser is virtualmarketguide.com (or a subdomain thereof). Look for the secure HTTPS connection and our branding. We will never ask for your Roblox password, email password, or payment information through direct messages, popups, or unofficial domains. If you encounter a site claiming to be us with a different URL, it is a phishing attempt.

Virtual Market Guide staff will never ask for your passwords, personal items, or payment information. We do not have "official" Roblox accounts that message players in-game. If someone claims to be from our team and asks for sensitive information or items, report and block them immediately. You can verify official communications by contacting us directly through our support email.

We appreciate community interest in contributing. While we do not have an open public contributor program at this time, we may reach out to experienced traders in specific game communities when we need additional moderators or data verifiers. The best way to get noticed is to provide high-quality, well-documented value feedback through our support email over a sustained period.
