After using the Tf2items.com trading thing for a while:

I wish this website wasn't so slow.
I wish people wouldn't turn down friends requests when they are actively attempting to trade. Or just not respond to them.

Other than that: Amazing system.

In the span of a few minutes, I get an exceedingly polite fellow who gave me his Sydney Sleeper for a spare Name Tag I had, and then found someone who had simply checked -every item- for their Vita Saw, so it shows up on the site that they'll trade their Saw for anything in the game.

Upon contacting them:
BLushMoE: hi
BLushMoE: vitasaw
BLushMoE: offer me
[Mana] Lyrai: ...well the site said you were looking for a Vintage Kritzkrieg?
BLushMoE: No
BLushMoE: My friend got a hat for it
BLushMoE: I want a hat

Knowing what items are easy to get and which ones are hard can get you some nice trades.

Yeah, the downside to TF2items.com is the vast number of people who don't actually want the trade they posted, or the people who want two or three hats for a single hat.  People seem a little baffled by my asserting that I only want to do 1:1 in-class trades for most hats (One pyro hat for one pyro hat, etc) and no I do not want to give them three hats for their sombrero, just my Pyro sleeping cap.  You said you would do that trade, so no you can't have my Hound Dog either.

P.S. My updated trade list:

Demoman's Fro for Hustler's Hallmark
Football Helmet for Ushanka
Engineer's Cap for an offer I like

And I like all three of my Soldier hats but I'd trade the Killer's Kabuto for the Drill Sergeant's Hat if someone wanted to.

Also have white paint, but am looking for black paint.

With that and a nametag, I'll have "The Hat With No Name".

Some people are just mashing "Select All". If you have two or more trades on you can check who does that.

Things I will trade:
    Vintage Soldier's Stash
    Vintage Tough Guy's Toque
    Familiar Fez
    Misc weapons
    An Extraordinary Abundance of Tingue(White paint)

What I want:
    The Attendant
    Vintage Vintage Tyrolean
    Powerjack

For the Tyrolean, I'd ideally want to trade my Pickelhaube. For the Fez, I'd ideally like The Attendant.

See my TF2items page, too. Things on page 1 are spares/will be crafted; things on page 2 I generally want to keep but may be swayed on, especially if I want something you have enough. Hats are on page 3. The only one I am married to is the Vintage Merryweather. And I mean literally married (in the states of Iowa and Massachusetts).

yyler, if you've still got those GRU by the time I've got the material to craft a new Powerjack, then you and I will have some things to talk about.

The Black Box

Send a Steam message to HessianD if you'd want the black box for a fez.

Current tiers are roughly:

- Polycount hats
- Any other new hats
- Paint
- Old hats
- Name Tags/Crates
- Polycount weapons
- Weapons that craft into Polycount weapons
- Other weapons

Furious wheeling and dealing has left me only needing a Black Box + the 5 Polycount Set hats to have a complete set.

I keep trying to trade my extra Worms hat for a Polycount hat but everyone just keeps demanding more and more amounts of hats for them. Highest I've seen is some guy refusing to go below 5 hats for his Grenadier's Softcap.

I've got the sniper's fishing cap and the flaming gloves if anyone has anything interesting for them.

I like Snipers better than Engineers.  Would you be willing to trade the Fishing Cap for the Engineer Cap?
