Buy anything off the ManCo store and you're 'premium' meaning you own the game. AFAIK You can only put a minimum $5 into your Steam wallet. Also buying a stamp for $1 should give you 'premium' status.
If you own the retail version you get a free hat that's usable on all characters. It's Farking nothing.

Since a long time ago. Though recently they added if you craft an item it'll display your current Steam display name on it.

Unless you have hats! Oddly enough my TF2 stuff is worth like $60. If you have earbuds you can sell it for $20. I'm not even kidding.

Max severed head = 60$+
And unusals = 60 to 500$. depending on hat/effect.
I got like 8 free games from trading tf2 hats. lol.
Found it. A spreadsheet of the current prices or so.

Some are "dropped" through normal game play, some you get if you purchase certain games/packs on steam, others are holiday specific (have only seen that for Halloween though), and then lastly are the ones you can buy through the Mann Co store.

ok, I thought maybe you would get one for like owning the game for a specific amount of time, like in Guild Wars.

I never play but I have the ear buds, silver plate thing, volcano fragment and sun on a stick. I don't even know why I hold onto them; I hate the game.

You should so trade them to me because it will make you feel good inside, and provide you with e-cookies.

Found it. A spreadsheet of the current prices or so.
A key is worth 2 refined or so. 2 refined = $2.50
Ear buds are worth about 20~25 refined. Congrats on your $20 item that people do buy for cash or trade for games. Bills is about $10. Max's head is around $60. Oh and if it's like level 1 or 100 I'm sure you can get a few more dollars.
Though with through the power of magic we can see your items. Being "vintage" you can trade it for refined prolly.
Two bounty hats. wat Impossible.
Adding all that shit up I get ~35 refined. That is if you can find someone to trade the vintage for a refined. I wouldn't know if they're worth that much considering the site says "1~2 scrap", but I know people want vintage. Maybe a reclaimed? I don't know. Depends.

Just gave it a try, it was pretty fun. I started out as heavy but since we had a multitude of spies and no medics, i swapped over. Was fun once i got the hang of it. Do I need to destroy crates or something, or how do you get items exactly?
