The Mann Co. Store is an in-game micro-transaction service included in the Mann-Conomy Update. The store allows players to purchase in-game items such as hats, weapons, and action items using money stored in their Steam Wallet. The store does not promote any 'pay-to-win' gameplay, but instead provides the players an alternate way of earning items instead of waiting for them to drop, crafting, or trading for them. Creators of community contributed items receive a percentage of sales for anything they've created.
Items bought from the Mann Co. store are not tradable or craftable unaltered; however, Gift Wrap allows players to trade purchased items. Exceptions are some Tools like Paint Cans, which are tradable even when they are bought. Note that all hats bought from the Mann Co. Store will be level 1. The exception being the Halloween hats, which are all level 31.

Pricing
Prices vary greatly, with newer and rarer items priced higher than older and more common ones. As a rule of thumb, rare items cost five or more dollars while common items cost less than five. These prices preserve the values of crafted or dropped items. They're comparable to the costs paid for exclusive pre-order items such as the Lumbricus Lid or Max's Severed Head.

Halloween
All items in the Halloween category were only available for purchase up to November 8th, 2010. They will not be available again.
Non-Purchasable Items
These items are not available for purchase but most are still available in-game through crafts, drops, special promotions, or trading. Items listed here may be completely unavailable because they were part of a special promotion or event that has passed and are not tradeable, such as the Golden Wrench and Polycount Pin.
Events specific Pages
During some events, special pages will show up in the store for a limited time.
Halloween
For the duration of the Scream Fortress Halloween event, select themed items were available for purchase. This lasted from October 27, 2010 to November 8, 2010.
Limited Mann Co. Cap
Anyone who makes a purchase from the Mann Co. Store will currently receive the Mann Co. Cap, an all class baseball cap with the Mann Co. symbol on the front.
Bonus items
For every $20/£15/€20 spent at a time in the store, you receive a free item. This will be a standard random drop with the untradeable property attached. Hats and other rarer items generate with the same chances as a Secret Saxton gift.
Additional notes
- In an online interview, lead designer Robin Walker explained that nearly everything you can purchase at the Mann Co. Store was also available to find via drops or crafting. "Our main goal to make sure that all gameplay affecting items are findable, so that no-one can buy an in-game advantage over someone who’s choosing to find their items." [1]
- Items that are bought or given as a bonus from the store will be tagged as purchased (cannot be traded or crafted) or promotional (cannot be traded).
- Visiting the Mann Co. Store will also add any outstanding items to the player and it will resolve issues with items in invalid positions in the player's Backpack.
