| − | I have a thread on the TF2 Steam forum listing trading advice, which can be found here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1463795 . Mind if I attach the tips to the notes section?

| − | Appearently the Scout's Bombing Run is a contender for most valuable item in trading. DO NOT CRAFT THE BOMBING RUN. You can probably trade it for whatever you want.

| − | == Cheater's Lament ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm one of the auld-skool idlers (I never regretted it) and I did get the Cheater's Lament soon after the update. However, I didn't get it after trading, I got it after my... first death, was it? I hadn't traded anything at that point, much less even clicked on the "trade" button. I didn't buy anything, and I had idled the night before so I'd already hit the drop cap. I think the Cheater's Lament drops the first time your drop queue is checked for a new item after the update. On death, or on trade, whichever comes first. Of course, this is just unsupported testimony at this point, so I won't edit the page yet. Can someone else corroborate this please?

| − | Same here. Didn't trade for it, I just received it on my first death when I started playing. [[User:Szthesquid|Szthesquid]] 18:09, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

| |
| − | | |
| − | Not many people know this, but it's possible to continue playing while trading by pressing escape. Pressing escape again will bring you back to the trading screen.

| − | == Item Value ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | We need to discuss what a item is worth to better inform people. Here's a list from most common to most rare and what's in demand right now.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | * Tokens [Nobody wants tokens. It requires you to sacrifice more weapons then it does to make Metal. Takes too much work.]
| |
| − | * Normal weapons [Drops all the time]
| |
| − | * Vintage weapons [Pretty common... for now. Otherwise, pretty useless.]
| |
| − | * Scrap Metal [Requires 2 normal weapons. A equivalent trade.]
| |
| − | * Crates [Dropped a lot. They require $2.50 to acquire a key to open. Valve is using gambling to get us to pay them.]
| |
| − | * Reclaimed Metal [3 normal weapons and a hard to find weapon is good for this one.]
| |
| − | * Nametag [Don't know why people want them. It's $1 to change a weapons name. Getting it for free is a different matter.]
| |
| − | * Paint [Same thing with the nametag.]
| |
| − | * Dueling Mini-Game [A item that can be purchased in the store, but buying enough to get Platinum if you win them all is $146.52... Goddamn it, Valve. (Highly sought after.)]
| |
| − | * Refined Metal [Requires lots of weapons. Best saved till you have 3 for a random hat and trade it for the one you want.]
| |
| − | * Ellis Cap [Not sought after right now, but might become more valuable in the future.]
| |
| − | * All regular hats [Takes lots of patience and finding the right person to trade with.]
| |
| − | * PolyCount Hats [Weapons and hats can be dropped or crafted, but they're highly sought after because of the bonus.]
| |
| − | * PolyCount sets [Hard to get right now.]
| |
| − | * ManCo Cap [A reskin of Ellis cap. A lot of people were disgusted and never wanted anything to do in the store when it first came. It will become valuable for its rarity.]
| |
| − | * Bill's Hat [Left 4 Dead 2 Pre-purchase]
| |
| − | * Lumbricus Lid [Worms pre-purchase]
| |
| − | * OSX Earbuds [Weekend special. Log into a Mac and get them for free in 3 day period.]
| |
| − | * Sam and Max items [Pre-purchase]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Impossible but wanted anyway
| |
| − | * WAR winners [3] [I know no one wants them, but a lot of people hated that Garry's mod photoshop pic that won 2nd place.]
| |
| − | * Golden Wrench [80] [I wanted this thing but TF2 wasn't working that weekend. :( Had to reinstall Windows 7.]
| |
| − | * PolyCount Pin [65] [If I only knew how use Maya...]
| |
| − | * Gentle Manns Service Medal [11,111] [Bullshit how it was from a code in the web page and was only on when everyone in the U.S. was at work or school.]
| |

| − | | |
| − | This list might be very dependent on who is trading and for what, but it's a reasonable guess. [[User:Daminshi|Daminshi]]
