Let me give you a TF2 Economy lesson.
Keys are 2.50 from Valve's Shop.
Keys are 1.30$ "black market", which is what people go by for trading-- you can buy keys from trusted sellers for this price, which is much cheaper than valve's price-- it doesn't put in new keys into the economy though, which drives up the price of them in metal.
Sales of keys from valve's shop drives down the price of keys in metal.
My Unusual Grenadier's Softcap w/ Nuts n Bolts (crap effect) is only worth around 20 keys (

Since people go by black market prices for unusuals and games on steam, my unusual is worth 1.30*20=26$
therefore I'm only losing a dollar if I trade my unusual for natural selection 2, which is 25$.
Unusuals are stupid things to own on TF2-- all they do is attract account hijackers, scammers, and sharkers.
