Not being able to sell certain items on the Market

[Steve Irwin]

I stopped playing on steam for a long time and came back for the holiday sales and found something wonderful called the Steam Community Market. I had to wait until the 20th of January to be able to sell my items on the market, and so I did, but now I see that I can only sell some of my items on the market, not all.

There are many items being sold on the market that I cannot put up for sale and I don't know why, for example, my stranges. I would like to know why others can and I can't, thanks!

Only certain tf2 items are allowed to be sold, those include: Festives, killstreak items, genuines, vintages, unusual/strange hats and tools. I don't know what items other games allow you to sell, but I guess they have same kind of restrictions aswell. Also trading cards and most steam inventory items are allowed.

To sell TF2 items on the market, you need to have a TF2 Premium Account. For a Premium Account you either had to purchase the game prior to June 23, 2011 (before it became Free 2 Play) or you had to make a purchase in the Mann Co. Store. For reference see here: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Account_types

If you did one of the 2 things above and still can't sell items you should be able to, you'll have to contact Steam Support for more help.

I understand, but there are items like stranges that people can sell and I cannot sell mine.

And yes, I am premium but I can only sell certain items, even though I see other people selling the same items I want to sell I cannot.

If a strange weapon has a killstreak part equipped in it, or if it is a strange festive, then it can be sold. You should also check your steam inventory to see which items have the "marketable" tag on them.

The only stranges I can find in community market are either festives, cosmetics or killstreaks.

Botkiller strange's can also be sold. Regular strange weapons cannot be sold (yet).

Ahh that makes sense, thanks a lot guys!
