The 3 most-asked questions
If you only read three answers on this page, make it these. First: bidding is not about picking a number you think is fair — it is about bidding the pessimistic end of your estimate and letting overbidders take the lockers that were never worth it, which the bidding calculator turns into an actual figure. Second: mutations add rather than multiply, so a Silver (2x) and a Gold (4x) on the same item make 6x combined, not 8x — a mistake that inflates every value estimate it touches. Third: nothing in the game, including the $100,000 Time Capsule, lets you choose a mutation, and the Capsule specifically only rolls from a narrow pool of lower-tier mutations — see the mall services guide for what it can and cannot land.
Past those three, the searchable list above covers the rest — area unlock thresholds, what grading actually does to an item’s value, the difference between lost items and exclusive items, and whether the scripts floating around Discord are safe to run (they are not). For a deeper, money-focused pass through the same ground, see How to Make Money Fast. If your question is not answered here, it is probably covered in more depth on one of the dedicated pages linked throughout — the wiki is the fastest way to search all of them at once, and the glossary untangles any term you do not recognize.
How these answers were written
Every answer here restates a fact already sourced on its linked page — bidding logic from the bidding calculator, mutation math from the mutations list, area thresholds from Areas & Unlocks, and script risk from the script safety checker. This page condenses them into short, direct answers and does not introduce any new claim.
