The economy isn't falling due to the unexpected shutdown of the rbx.rocks site. It's because of the awaited release of the Headless Horseman and potentially a gift containing a special item (Dominus, Domino Crown, etc), which are going to cost 31,000 Robux. High demand items under 100,000 Robux are mostly effected by this and are sold underneath their RAP so people can get that quick Robux to get the package as soon as it is put on sale.

Also the removal of rbx.rocks did not ultimately kill most of the collectibles economy, it just removed the ability to view the values of items (which was only important people who trade). It may be due to items becoming too inflated. Like how Valkyrie can only reach to a chokepoint of 63,000 RAP.
