But it will be in a week, because we're going to stop selling them. So this is your last chance to get a Gun Mettle Campaign Pass. If you're thinking, "The Campaign's almost over, why buy one now?", the answer is that you'll still get access to all past contracts up until now, in addition to all of the contracts for the remainder of the campaign. There's still five weeks until Gun Mettle's over, soo that's a heck of a lot of chances to snag yourself some one-of-a-kind campaign-exclusive weapons. Speaking of those: If you've got ten campaign-exclusive items just sitting around, we've got good news for you. Now you can trade them in for a higher-tier item! Simply click on any Gun Mettle item in your inventory and choose "Mann Co. Trade-Up" from the drop-down menu to give it a shot! We're also shipping the Gun Mettle Cosmetic case, an exclusive community cosmetic item collection now available as a weekly random drop for folks who own a Gun Mettle Campaign Coin. Just like the weapons, all of these 16 cosmetics have a chance to contain Strange capability, and the nine hats in the collection have a chance at being Unusual. Let's see, what else? We've made it so you can now preview Gun Mettle cosmetic items in your inventory the same way you can preview Gun Mettle weapons. We've also added map stamps and strange filters for all of the community-created Gun Mettle Campaign maps. (Don't forget to submit your maps to the Maps Workshop Beta, mapmakers!)[/quote]
More CS.GO stuff? Community skins? Hurray?

Snagged a bunch of cheapo mercenary-grade guns off the market, as many as I could afford, then made them into commando-grades. Selling them right now would fetch some marginal profit, but I'm gonna hold on to them and see what happens with the economy. I expect high-tier guns to fall. If that happens, I buy a few more commandos and go elite. If not, I sell them for profit. I see bright future with lods emone. Although as usual, that's probably not going to work out too well. Like that time that I did every trade ever and turned negative profit every single time.

So as far as I can tell from my minimal amount of costly science, trade-ups go by lowest common denominator in terms of wear (i.e. if you have 10 FNs you will get a FN; 9 FNs and a MW nets you a MW and so on). You might want to look into it if you're curious as it might just be an amazing coincidence on my part but it's worth noting somewhere. Meaning there is a potential for profit if you can, for instance, trade 10 strange FN sudden flurries to something greater.
