Hey guys, the summer sale started and as some of you may know you get an in game item for a game every time you craft the badge. it clearly says in the description for these items: rafting the Summer Adventure badge gets you 1 in-game item (crafting the foil badge gets you 5 items!) These items are both tradable and marketable.

Link here, scroll down to see the items

So i got a summer starter kit for team fortress 2 and when i click on it it says ( Not Tradable ) even though the item is in the list from the link above.
But i do see the item popping up in the market like once every 20 seconds so people are able to sell it.

What's going on? why is my starter kit untradable?
I also tried going to the market and finding it there in my inventory, but it's not there because, well, untradable

Does somebody have an idea what's going on?

Thanks :)

If you haven't bought anything from steam within the last X months (3/6/9/12, forgot which one) there's a waiting period before items become tradeable.

IIRC you need to have bought something from the store and wait X amount of days before you are able to trade and or sell in the marketplace (it was 30 days but I think that has changed this week)

no what he's saying is in order for you to be able to use the community market in general, you have to be made a purchase in the steam store in the last x months (after 30days of that purchase the community market is enabled).
If you are already able to use the community market, maybe you need also tf2 premium to be able to sell tf2 items on the market.

i buy from it daily.. so that's not it.. and if that thing about tf2 is true that would destroy the entire purpose of the items u can get in the summer sale

Maybe is because you are not TF2 Premium. Only TF2 Premium users can trade TF2 items. If you are FTP TF2 Player, you cant trade TF2 items. Check your inventory, this item is on your TF2 inventory zone.
