You can sell your brain to Voltaire for a medium tier unusual. Also, your soul is worth less than Plumpkins inventory.
That's all the advice I got.

yes, what mystic ownage said
Unusual hats can only be unboxed in a crate, and theres a 1.00% chance to get one, these can go for buds, and you could be rich. But its a big gamble.
A great way to earn some profit is scrap banking. What is scrap banking? Well, when you create scrap metal, you have to take two weapons from the same class and smelt them down into scrap. Well, scrap bankers will pay 1 scrap metal for any two clean weapons. Know, say you scrap banked for a guy and a payed a scrap for a clean ubersaw, and clean quickfix, later, someone comes along looking for these weapons. These can sell for a scrap each only if someone is looking for it. So now you end up with double what you originally had. This is a awesome way for earning profit, but i don't do it myself, because most the time it takes dedication.
Also, look at this thread about duped items. Duped items greatly are greatly lower in value, but some people will try to sell it to you for full price, so refer to this on how to spot one.

Wow, thanks everyone. I got a lot more than I was expecting. I'm intrigued by scrap banking, sounds nice and simple. And thanks for the link sureshot. I actually already read that thread along with most the other helpful scam spotting threads. Guess I got some trading to do. :D

Alright, let's use my list of "wtf is wrong here":
1. keys are around 2.44 ref. Sometimes some kind soul sells them for 2.33 ref, but when they're not sold for 2.44 ref they're usually sold for 2.55 from some metalgrubbingsonovabitch.
2. Some hats are available to all but they're craftable as fuck. Achievement hats are, from what I've seen, not accepted as craft hats.
3. Usually around 8-10 keys. White or black painted are worth more.
4. From what I've seen, worth around 24 keys atm.
5. They're not "worth from >1 Bud to upwards of 5-6 Buds" they can be worth somewhere around a bills(cancer hat with cancer effect) or, from what I've seen, 10+ buds(awesome hats and/or effects).
That's all for my list of "wtf is wrong here" for now.
1. I sell Keys at 2.33 to 2.66.
2. Only real available Hats to all that are craftable but not Achievement, to my knowledge are the Manniversery Paper Hats and the Ellis Caps.
3. The price has gone up lately, there's been a spike in the buying of Bills, and the selling has started to decline.
4. Buds are slowly on the rise, valued at 27-28 Keys currently.
5. > 1 Bud fucking means a Bills or 2, numb nuts.

-On the average keys go from 2.33-2.55, 2.44 being the main price of purchase, 2.55 being main price of selling.
-Most standard craft hats can be bought 1-1.33 refined, with others going to prices like 1.66-2 or 2.33-3 or higher.
-Buds are on average price ranges of 24-25, with 24 being the main average
-Bill's are still 8-10 keys with paints like Mann's Mint and After Eight being 8.5 for some reason...
-Unusual price ranges can go from your serious cancer hat worth around 10 keys (Lowest I've seen) to 15 maybe more Buds (Highest I've seen)

15 buds is the highest you've seen? LoL, you've clearly never encountered a Flaming Team Captain.

Just didn't want the OP mistakenly thinking that the ceiling was that low. There is shit out there that can rival the price of a first car. (Granted, a shitty $1400 car, but a car none the less.)
if you got some questions, or just are looking for tips/ not sure about a price, you can always add me, im on trading servers/sites quit alot:)
Say, if that's the current price, you should buy my buds for 25 keys. Super great bargain here.

Well, according to creeping death's time out standards, this guy deserves a time out. Everything that I corrected, I corrected for a reason. Learn your shit son.
