Trading Reputation Your Way

Announcing our Mann Co. Partnership

We're pleased to announce our partnership with Mann Co. to deliver the Mann Co. store catalog to the Web for the first time!*

Shortly after the monkeygineer that Mann Co. hired to create their online store unexpectedly passed away (RIP Poopy Joe... taken too soon), the store fell into disrepair. Eventually it shut its doors entirely, leaving hatless masses without an online outlet to purchase fine hats and weapons. Those wishing to cover their bare heads were forced to gasp launch the TF2 client and purchase items from the in-game store!

Obviously, Mann Co. couldn't expect all of its customers to have this level of technical expertise. The folks over at Mann Co. know how committed we are to providing the best service to our users, and reached out to us with a contract to host their new online store.

After years of hard labor, it's finally ready. So without further refreshing Mtn Dew™**, I present to you the TradeRep Mann Co. Online Store![www.traderep.org]

Through our partnership, we are able to offer our customers a Mann Co. Online Cap, free of charge, on your first purchase!*** You'll also receive a complimentary Mann Co. Store Package for every $19.99 you spend in our store!

So go there now and buy hats! Saxton Hale is counting on you!

I'd like to take a moment to clarify a few things. While this post is about a "partnership" with Mann Co., note that TradeRep isn't affiliated with Valve or Steam in any way. Our online store is entirely unofficial and is not sanctioned by Valve.

It is, however, completely safe. We fetch the prices of all items in the TF2 store once per day and then we store that data and use it to display our storefront.

Your cart is stored entirely in your browser, so if you refresh the page your cart will be cleared. When you checkout, you're redirected to Steam where you securely confirm your purchase and pay with your Steam Wallet. We use the Steam Online Purchasing (also known as "Buy Now") system for this.

Your account is granted the Mann Co. Online Cap the first time you buy any item using this system, so it's not specific to our store. You can also obtain it by buying something using the "Buy Now" button on an item's wiki page, for example.
