Tradable items listed as untradable?

[Smokey]

I have a friend who wants to sell me a hat, but for some reason it is listed as untradable. He knows for a fact that it is, and has restarted steam a couple of times. Is this a bug? and if it is, how can we fix it?

 

[Smokey]

bump, need help here

It's a glitch with the item servers. Wait.

Its probably just Steam trading itself. Its very buggy. Sometimes right after somebody accepts the trade, it automaticly quits and freezes my game....

Give it a few minutes. Steam does this from time to time.

thanks for all the responses, I will wait a bit before trading again

Same thing happened to a Honcho's Headgear I gave to my friend. It says Craftable in his BP, and in my Trade/BP Records, but it comes up as dirty to him. Steam issue more than likely. This is why TF2 Trade was simpler.

The same bug existed in the in-game trade, as well. It would typically make your entire backpack untradeable for about ten minutes. Usually the result of the item server derping up.

but it would still be tradeable even though it says untradeable?

The item became tradable after he painted it. Strange.

I know that the old in-game trade would still work, but it would just temporarily mark the items as untradeable. They could still be traded, and they showed up normally in your backpack once the trade was complete.

Not sure if Steam Trade will actually let you complete the trade or not. Hasn't happened to me in a while.
