Check for spelling errors

Well check that you have entered in every detail correctly, triple cheeck if you have to.

Relisting means you can not have more than one trade open with the same goal, or items. If say you had 20 HOUWARS and wanted to list them all, you would just have one trade open and in the notes specify how many you had and are selling.

Giftwrap it, put it on the market / site, get offers on it, take the best one. Your HOUWAR is probably going to be the cleanest on the market (one man history) so dont let it go cheap.

If you want a specific unusual hat, search for the hat name (eg team captain) click on the hat to bring up a small menu. Then click on the dropdown box (default is "Any Quality") and click unusual.

1. Generally whole backpack trades are represented by the putting the untradable badge (mercenary, ect) on the have side and keys / buds on the want side. You would also put in the trade notes that you are selling your backpack for pure only. There are also a few users on OP that buy backpacks for PayPal.

2. Do not click on any links sent to you either in steam chat or on your trades, and always make sure when entering your credentials that it is the actual steam site.

3. You will need a substantial amount of rep before you can do PayPal trades, if not you will most likely be required to 'go first' meaning you will give the buyer the keys and then they will send the money to you, you can also use a middleman.

4. Check their steamrep for any scammer tags or alts, check their steam profile and see how old their account is (generally 2 years+ is ok.) and check for any previous trade bans. Using a trusted middleman will remove most of the risk when making a PayPal trade (always use a middleman that you know is trusted).

5. This depends on how quickly you want to sell them. A cheaper price will get you a faster trade, but less money, while a more expensive trade might take longer for someone to buy. Do some searches on the site and see what others are selling for and base your price on that.

Let me start off by saying this. Item levels and craft number rarely effect the value of the price unless its a glitched level (1 through 5) or the craft name is someone famous.

I read that level 1 42 69 99 & 100 are the important ones ONLY?
1.Is this only for hats?

Levels are applied to almost every item in the game. This includes cosmetics AND items. The prices that these levels give really depend on the rarity of that item and level. For example, a level 69 sandman may only be worth half a scrap to one user. But a rare glitch level 5 sandman might be worth a whole lot more. In terms of general TF2 priceing, item levels mean nothing unless its selling to a collector or the level is rare.

Does it have to be "crafted by X" to be of value or drops with those numbers work too?

Crafted tags are interesting aswell. If the name on the craft is just a regular person such as you or me, it would be considered a 'dirty' hat, which does reduce the value of the item (not significantly. However if the name of the craft was someone popular, such as Notch or GabeN or whoever else the user considers as popular, the item is then considered 'signed'. The value of this varies from person to person, but most of the time people get a higher value than what the item without the tag is worth.

If you are unsure of how to price an item, take a look around the market and other trading websites, you're bound to find both sellers and buyers to get an idea of what you should price your item at.
