The Community Market is designed to expand the Steam Economy beyond trading. Players can now buy and sell in-game items with other players for Steam Wallet funds.

The beta is starting with Team Fortress 2 and will be available to other titles on Steam in the New Year.

So now I can sell in-game items for real money .. VALVE ZINDABAD!

The system works absolutely perfect. You just put your item for sale and whenever someone buys it automatically adds money to your account. Keep in mind the buying page lists items arranged in lowest first, so if you put your price high you'll likely won't sell fast or not at all. I had to put my prices below what other people were selling at and i sold almost immidietely.

Not really cash good but steam wallet is good enough for me for buying games on sale. I got quite a few more things i could sell but i think $85 is good enough for winter sale

Thing is currently valve allows only 1 time useable items. Keys, paints, crates, other tools which dissappear after 1 use. Probably after the beta we'll be able to trade hats and unusual hats etc. Then the market will be pretty huge. Not to mention there's more virtual items economies like spiral knights, dota 2, super mnc etc.

Valve is genius, they've figured out how to get maximum money out of every single thing people trade. Mann co keys/tools etc bought from mann co store= profit for Valve, steam wallet used to buy things from market = profit for Valve, on top of that every transaction fees and game fees currently 15% which valve gets. So that meant every single thing being sold , valve gets 15% of that.

Plus add Dota 2 and other MMOS. This will soon turn into huge market. Selling virtual items for real money. EPIC
