The Gamers Guide

Let's start with the basics, the things that drive the trading scene.
Scrap, Worth 2 Unique weapons.

Reclaimed, Worth 3 Scrap

Refined, Worth about 3 Rec. The most expensive metal.

Keys, keys usually go for around 15 to 20 ref check backpack.tf for exact pricing.

Hats, unusuals, strages, and more. These things are usually the higher up of most metals and sometimes keys. Stranges usually merit the lowest price depending on weapon however stranges suck as ones on hats are better. Hats can range from dirt cheap to ungodly prices, all class or early gen. hats can be better. Unusual hats can be worth hundreds of keys or 30 dollars it all depends or the hat itself and its effect. God tier describes super rare hats with high level effects. This could be for instance TC with burning.

How To Get Stuff.

You may wonder how to get up in this place and i will tell you how.
IF YOU THINK IT THINGS HAPPEN OVERNIGHT YOU ARE WRONG.
That's right trading can take weeks or even months to do, you will usually want to start out selling a weapon for 2 more, for instance, 1 power jack for an ambassador and ubersaw. once you have at least 1 key in pure, or stranges, get hats. Try trading for more desirable hats, instead of hats that are not typically used. This will make your deals more tempting. You NEED to sell over backpack price (link above) (pretty much the word for deciding price) however only sell over proportionally to the price of the hat, say a tc for 3-4 extra ref but a 2 ref hat for only 2-3 extra SCRAP. After this rinse and repeat until u can get an unusual or better.
