However you can get above that by listing item on market -> Getting the cap -> Unlisting the item.

If you are on max cap however you wont be able to recieve any more items until the cap is gone

What will happen to my buy orders ? let say an item comes from buy order and I am maxout, What will happen to buy order item ?

Will I able to trade with other people ?

As for the buyorders I dont think they would be finalized, and as for the trade you wont be able to accept the offer.

Still 1000 or 1000 items is a lot, and if you really need to have more you can always make 2nd account and trade your items there (even without paying 5$ for unrestricting it, free accounts can still recieve offers)

There is no cap for the Steam inventory although other game inventories may have implemented their own cap such as TF2
