Sometimes we get feedback regarding prices and how long it takes to unload an item. Sometimes players claim that since it takes a long time to sell something then our prices must be wrong. Wrong! We are very capable of making mistakes. However, in TF2 trading land there are a lot of choices and beyond the always hot Team Captains and Bills some items we don't want tend to sit a long time in our backpacks waiting for a home.
Take for example Genuine Volcano Fragment. This was a hot property when Rift first came out and all the controversy about it being tradeable before the game's release. Now, it takes a loooong time to sell one. Does that mean it's value has gone down? To some extent yes, but that's not the only answer. It can take several days to a week to sell one at "full" price (currently between 2 and 3 refined). The reason is simple: because there are more (genuine) items available spreading demand out. So if you have one you need to spread the word out that it's for sale. That means trading servers during peak times (Thurs-Sun), reddit tf2 forums, Steam TF2 trading forums, Source Op item trading forums, and tf2tp.com. Start a new thread, keep it simple and post a link to your profile so people can easily add you.
When you've exhausted all avenues to sell an item then lower your price.
