Can't trade the items that are tradable

[BonBonTV]

Hey guys!

So I am quite new in Steam, and I just got Steam full access where I can add friends etc. but I can not trade items in tf2. Could anyone help me with this?

[Tasty Salamanders]

You need to be premium in TF2 in order to trade in TF2, we can't tell if you are premium in TF2 if your backpack is private.

true

Okay I did it public so can you guys advise me now?

[Tasty Salamanders]

Yeah none of your items are tradable, which means you don't have premium. To get premium you need to buy an item in the in-game store (the Mann Co. Store, NOT the Steam Community Market).

If you want advise on what to buy; the cheapest thing is not the best thing. A weapon on the Mann Co. Store can cost like 50 cents. A key on the Mann Co. Store costs like $2.50 and can be exchanged for 284 weapons. Take your pick.

What do you mean by that key thing? How I can exchange that key to weapon?

You guessed my thoughts right :-D I was thinking about buying the chiepest product and then get the premium but let's see what you mean by the key thing and then I will decide.

But did I get it right, that if I buy any product, even if I buy the chiepest one, I get premium? So in theory, premium costs like 50 cents?

Yeah. The cheapest item is the Giftapult, I think.

A key can be traded for refined metal (about 16) which can then be crafted into scrap and traded for weapons.

Scrap.tf can exchange Keys into ref, and scrap/rec/ref into weps.

So I can't exchange via Steam? And guys is it possible that if I buy an item and I get premium then I sell the item then I kind of get the premium for free(because I get the money back for the Item, at least some of it)?

Anyway, I am thinking to get one key, if I am getting premium for just buying one key.

The cheapest thing you can buy in the store is a weapon or one of the class starter packs if you're eager to become premium.

Also I think theres a 15 day wait until you can trade once you've made your first purchase in the store.

No, that's just Steam Guard.

What do you guys think about Team Fortress Premium vs F2P? Is TF2 Premium worth it?
