Price floor

5 Robux, the current minimum price for a classic shirt and pants in the Marketplace

The price floor is a minimum price set for selling items on Roblox, which was introduced on September 24, 2013.

Info

Along with the outlines update, the price floor update was heavily criticized by the community upon its release. Prior to this update, the minimum price of T-shirts, Shirts and Pants was 1 Robux and 1 ticket. This update raised the minimum price to 25 Robux and 300 tickets, although this was later lowered to 10 Robux and 100 tickets nine days later following backlash. Three main reasons were cited in the blog posts announcing the update:

1. Raise the quality of items in the catalog.
2. Reward makers and sellers of clothing.
3. To incentivize non-paying users to buy Robux.

On April 13, 2016, due to the removal of tickets, the price floor was lowered to 2 Robux for T-shirts and 5 Robux for shirts and pants.

Controversy

UGC creators can also choose to have a minimum price for their item. If specified, the item will never decrease beneath the set price (although it can still increase if the price floor surpasses the minimum price). For example, the price of the Rainbow Wings back accessory will never decrease beneath 800 Robux, although it can increase if the price floor increases above 800 Robux.

With all factors considered, the final price calculation is $max(p+a,m)$, with $p$ representing the current price floor, $a$ representing the minimum amount above the price floor (or 0 if not provided), and $m$ representing the minimum price (or 0 if not provided). The $max$ function indicates that the larger of the two outcomes will be selected.
