Used to play a lot of TF2 back in the day and recently got back into it. Forgot how much trading was part of the game until I saw people still doing it actively. Got curious about how skin trading works now and found https://robots.net/gaming/gaming-technical-guides/tf2-skin-trading/ which walks through the basics. The system is different from CS2 but still has that same community marketplace vibe. Some items have held their value for years which is pretty wild. Thinking about getting back into collecting unusual hats just for nostalgia. The trading scene is still alive which surprised me honestly
