This could be something that you bought for a higher price than what most people would guess based on the item, or it could be something you bought for a normal price that has gained significant value as time has gone on.

What made me think of this question is a LEGO minifigure I got with my “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” disc. It is Bilbo Baggins in a blue coat that was apparently only sold in that movie box only at Target stores. Even considering the exclusivity, I would have guessed maybe $10-20 for such a tiny piece of plastic, but there are sold listings on eBay from $80 to $225. I could possibly even get towards the higher end of that number since I still have everything in the original box in good condition. It’s not worth a ton compared to some other items people may own, but I think most people would not expect nearly that amount.

    That’s awesome that you got it before it ballooned in price. The cost of digital items is kinda crazy to me, but I know they make people happy to own, so who am I to complain? I can’t recall, can you convert Robux into real currency, or can it only be used on other Roblox items?

      Yeah, but the exchange rate is almost 400 for a single dollar. Basically only worth utilizing if you’re a creator getting consistent income from place visits
