You are asking not very smart question ;) To obtain best hats and be a best player is the aim of tf2, so hats are meant to be traded, and people choose what to trade for them, because i saw that not only hats are traded to games, but also to other games items.

http://tf2spreadsheet.blogspot.com/ Here are listed prices for hats,items,etc.

Comment has been collapsed.

That's for a general estimate, lots of items have a market value that greatly differs from the sheet as the sheet doesn't change as fast as the market.
Generally asking around or comparing what other people are asking for their similar items on tf2outpost are a better way to go about establishing a proper pricetag :)

Spreadsheet is actually a lie, the owner changes the prices for his profit.

Games = $$$$, TF2 hats = $$$
For example, 1 Craftable hat standard cheap = 0.50-0.70 $ +/-
1 TF2 Bill (exclusive L4d2 hat) = 8-10 $ +/-
Milion of hats, genuines, exclusives, unusuals... with million of different prices. There are unusual hats that cost more than 300 $

The TF2 economy moves about $20 Million worth in items within itself. Hats are serious fucking business.

Didn't check, but I'm still curious.

Do you trade through steamtrades, sourceop or elsewhere? I have a bit of hats to trade away but I don't know where to do it.

[edited because it sounded like a trade request :P]

tf2outpost.com, but you wont get much for your stuff tbh

you can also visit some trade servers, you can find great deals there but its hundreds times more time and work consuming :D

About the trade servers... yeah, tell me about it. That's pretty much the only way I traded.

Anyway, thanks for the heads-up :)

But the upside is that trade servers also have the potential for shenanigans.

Don't you know TF2 players are not-so closeted compulsive hat fetishists? It's a pursuit of pleasure and bliss, to be able to wear a hat.

On a serious note: a hat for a game is laugh worthy. The only thing hats are good for is to complete a item set and get the advantage that comes with it.

I have some, but how can one live with merely some? You should at the very least be able to switch and wear 20 unique hats in one match! I can't..and...and... <sobs>
