Only craft #'s below 100 are worth any extra, and the value is very dependent on the hat and the collector market.

Levels don't get you much unless they are on Vintages, though if you find a collector you might get a bit more depending on the hat, though craft hats you won't get much if any extra for.

a craft number (or any item for that matter) is only worth as much as people will pay for it or what you can sell it for.

Nice round craft numbers, palandromes, under 100, 101, 500 or significant numbers can all be collectable. But really any number can be collectable. You can check if an item has a craft number by checking your outpost backpack or looking at your bp form backpack.tf.

For example i collect #808 - you can view it here - http://www.tf2outpost.com/backpack/54284 or here - http://ipv6.backpack.tf/id/76561198044651260

Levels are a bit more complicated, your best bet is to search for other sellers on outpost and checking their C.Os and B.o to get s sense of what people are buying your item for. I agree with kings analysis on special levels on craft hats, with the reasoning that craft hats are for the most part theoretically infinite and so more hats with special levels will have a near infinite supply. Vintage special levels are in limited supply and are most likely in a collection already.

thank you guys:> this hellped me

Not the best idea, especially when most outpost sellers are totally retarded with their 5x higher prices just because of lvl 42.

Oh, and collectors are not interested in hats with special levels, unless they are vintages or rare hats(by rare I mean >3000 in existence). Actually, everyone knows that these levels are worth something on the market, so people think of them as of something they could resell for more, and that's it.

thank you lack

There are also some nice craft# that are universal or specific themed. The 404 error I've seen an uproar for those and the not so well known but nice 1945 Team Captain, 1945 year end of WWII tc looks like Nazi officer hat.

Also some might pay you a bit more for a special leveled item, just don't expect to get much or a lot of offers for that matter.
