This is probably better suited to the Half Life forum, which is pretty much an "all things Valve" forum.

That's the only thing I dislike about the update, stuff costs 5 times as much as it should.

I have seen people willing to pay €25+ for a hat. I would be reluctant to pay that for a real hat!

Seemed to be a load of new (better) weapons too, are those bought with real money, or unlocked as previously?

All weapons can be dropped as previously.

Everything but two cans of paint and keys can drop IIRC.

Hang on. Someone sends you a crate and then you have to pay to unlock it?

Yep, keys don't drop, one of the other "that's bull****"'s of this update.

That's all kind of bull****. Been shocked by the prices they're charging too, absolute rip-off. I went into the store intending to buy a few things - novelty crap mostly - but at €18 for a hat they can get the boat.

If stuff was 1/5th the price it would seem fair.

You know, if someone created a website specifically designed for TF2 trading they could receive a whole lot of traffic . . .

There actually is a site about TF2 Trading: http://www.tf2items.com
it also has a backpack viewer and crafting templates.

I'd rather trade with people I "know" though, that way I'm much more likely to actually get offered what I want for an item and there'd be less timewasters.

Seriously. Playing TF2 is like firing a weapon while you run around Stormwind:

Mr. Twisty (Team): Spy!
JoJank: Anybody have the Vintage modest pile of hat?
Atten (Team): Medic!
Overheal: WTB Primordial Saronite, 500g. Pst.

edit: Cool site but reminding people DO NOT register with your Steam ID and same password as your login. New website = Vulnerable = Rich target.

Yeah, the site has been around for sometime . . . although I don't think Valve & drunken f00l (the guy that runs the site) are at their height of good relations . . .

I'm like yourself Venom - Ill just trade with the people I know. People should be weary of trading with complete strangers also . . . plenty of people have been scammed already.

As far as I am aware all items are trade-able, except for those you purchase via the store alongside Valve special items & community contributor items.
