Tradable?

The main page says "purchase only" but also that it's tradable? Is that an error, or is it actually tradeable?

  • Correct. I've purchased one myself, traded it to another account, then wrapped up an item and delivered it back to my own account. The original item you get from the store can be traded. The packaged gift (if I remember) cannot be traded; it must be activated (like a Paint or Name Tag) to deliver it to someone.RukiTanuki 16:10, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Gifting process

Right now, the wiki reads "After the gift is opened, the gifted item will have a descriptive 'tag' telling you who sent the gift and when you received it." I think this can be made more useful.

I propose that we expand it that so it'll be more informative. I was thinking, "After buying the gift wrap from the Mann Co store, you can use it with any item from your backpack, including untradeables. This will create a (gift? I have no idea what it looks like). You then select a player to send the gift to. The gifted player can select the gift and click on "use with" to receive his gift. After the gift is opened, the gifted item will have a descriptive 'tag' telling you who sent the gift and when you received it. In addition, any untradeable items will become tradeable when gifted."

I would have added the above, but I don't have first hand experience with it. All the above information were gained from the forums and in-game chats.
