Poisoned items

A poisoned Roblox item is one that has been obtained through illicit means. They have become a boogeyman of the trading community. Owning a poisoned item has a small possibility of warranting a ban to the owner and whatever means it took to get to them. This is because Roblox suspects owners, and past owners to be mules for the item. Poisoned Items are most likely stolen accounts with limiteds.

Spreading
Poisoned items may be spread through two ways. Trading, and being sold. Trading is the more feared way, as it is hard to know what items are poisoned. Though, being sold is more of a threat to less experienced traders; who are buying their first limiteds'. If a trader is more experienced, they have a smaller likely-hood of being poisoned.

How to Avoid
Avoiding poisoned items may not seem easy, but it will become easier over time. First, when it's sold. If the price is significantly lower than the RAP, it's almost certainly poisoned. Make sure it has a "Verified, Bonafied, Pladiafied" hat. This means the account is verified, for any account. The giftcard item is a giftcard they redeemed in order to get premium, to sell the poisoned items. Now, with trading for poisoned items. If they make an offer that's way too good to be true, they are trying to trade you a poisoned item.

Punishments
Normally, Roblox will realize the buyer had no intention of trafficking items, though they make errors from time to time.

- If the total RAP of the poisoned items adds up to under 10k, the buyer will be punished with a three-day ban.

- If the RAP adds to over 10k, they have a possibility of getting a 1-week ban.

- If the RAP in sum is over 100k, the user will be terminated/have a permanent ban.

Though, you shouldn't fear any of this. As the possibility of getting banned is very slim, around 1/1000. If by some chance you do get banned, use Roblox's support poll, and send them an Email. This will almost certainly get you unbanned, you will no longer have your poisoned items and a you may have a refund of said items. If not, either Roblox has made a major error, or you have indeed been trafficking items.

Reputation
Poisoned items have exaggerated into a menace. Though, they are very harmful, the possibility of Roblox making an error is very slim. The most common punishment is simply having the items removed, and receiving an Email explaining the situation. You may be here because you fear of being banned because you've bought or traded for a suspected poisoned item. The best method here is to simply put them up for sale and wait to see if they're removed or sold back to the traffickers. If your account receives punishment for this, simply do as said in line six of Punishments. You shouldn't have to worry about this, it's very rare to receive punishment, as you're only doing what's right.
