Store
"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 'pay-to-win' gameplay: There are crafting blueprints and random drops available for any non-cosmetic item. Creators of community contributed items receive a percentage of sales for anything they've created." It is not possible to exploit the shop by buying cheap items and melting them to make more expensive ones because all items bought through the store cannot be crafted or traded.
Trading
"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, the Golden Wrench and store-bought items and items given through gifts are 'untradable', meaning that they must remain on the original account that obtained them. Surprisingly, Bill's Hat, 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."
Vintage Items
As the update was introduced, all of the items which were previously obtained were switched to "Vintage Items". Their name is now rendered blue, and the Vintage prefix was added to their name. According to Valve, "some items that used to be rare will become more common when they are available for purchase. (...) This way, those older rare items remain rare (in fact, they're even rarer, because they're limited editions now). "
There were exceptions though, such as The Cheater's Lament, Alien Swarm Parasite, Lumbricus Lid, Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask, Bill's Hat, Ghastly Gibus, Earbuds, all the medals and all the craft materials.
