Trading is an in-game system allowing players to swap weapons, hats and misc items allowing players to obtain items that they desire. Some items, such as the Gentle Manne's Service Medal and store-bought items are 'untradable', meaning that they must remain on the original account that obtained them. Surprisingly, the Lumbricus Lid and the Alien Swarm Parasite can be traded.

As of now, it is possible to trade with players on a players friends list and with other players in their current server.

If one player has another player's Steam Community ID, then there is also an option to trade directly with that player. This makes it easy to trade with someone who isn't in the same server that you are.

However, although it might seem obvious, both trade "partners" must be playing Team Fortress 2 if they wish to trade. It should also be noted that purchased items are not currently tradeable.
