The '''Mann Co. Store''' is an in-game micro-transaction service included in the [[Mann-Conomy Update]]. The store allows players to purchase in-game items such as [[hats]], [[weapons]], and [[action items]] using money stored in their [[Steam Wallet]]. The store does not promote any 'pay-to-win' gameplay, but instead provides the players an alternate way of earning items instead of waiting for them to drop, crafting, or trading for them. Creators of [[Contribution page|community contributed items]] receive a percentage of sales for anything they've created.
 
  
Items bought from the Mann Co. store are not tradable or craftable unaltered; however, [[Gift Wrap]] allows players to trade purchased items. Exceptions are Tool Items like Paint Cans, which are tradeable even when they are bought.

The '''Mann Co. Store''' is an in-game micropayment service included in the [[Mann-Conomy Update]]. The store allows players to purchase in-game items such as [[cosmetics]], [[weapons]], and [[action items]] using money stored in their [[Steam Wallet]]. Creators of [[Steam Workshop|community-contributed items]] receive a percentage of sales for anything they've created. Aside from the main in-game interface, purchases can be made through this Wiki.
 +
 
 +
Items bought from the Mann Co. Store can be traded, but not immediately; previously, items purchased from the Mann Co. Store were unable to be traded. After the [[Hatless Update]], tools and action items (excluding Pile O' Gifts and the Secret Saxton) bought from the Mann Co. Store were given a 2-day waiting period before becoming tradable. Following the [[Manniversary Update & Sale]], untradable weapons, and cosmetic items that were previously purchased from the store can now be traded. Since the {{Patch name|12|17|2014}}, all items purchased from the store now have a one week waiting period before they can be traded, however they can be sold on the Steam Community Market immediately.
 +
 
 +
Weapons bought from the Mann Co. Store can't be used in crafting, while cosmetics can. Following the {{Patch name|11|29|2012}} items bought from that date can be used in crafting, while previously purchased ones can't.
  
 
==Pricing==
 
==Pricing==
 +
Prices vary greatly, with newer and rarer items priced higher than older and more common ones. As a rule of thumb, rare items cost ten or more dollars while common items (cosmetics excluded) cost less than five. These prices preserve the values of crafted or dropped items. On occasion, the store will have sales on cosmetics and weapons.

==Weapon testing ==
 +
Weapons can be tested by selecting the desired weapon in the Store, and clicking the "Try it out!" button at the bottom-left corner. However, cosmetics, tools, action items, and items labeled as "New" ''cannot'' be tested. This will give the player the selected weapon for one week, during which the weapon cannot be crafted or traded. After the week is done an alert will appear notifying that the test period is over, and the item will be removed from the player's backpack. Afterwards they will be able to test out another weapon, or even the very same weapon if they want. This process can be repeated an infinite amount of times without any adverse effects. As an added bonus, during the testing period, the player can buy the item for a 25% discount off of the regular price.
  
Prices vary greatly, with newer and rarer items priced higher than older and more common ones.  As a rule of thumb, rare items cost five or more dollars while common items cost less than five.  These prices preserve the values of crafted or dropped items. They're comparable to the costs paid for exclusive pre-order items such as the [[Lumbricus Lid]] or [[Max's Severed Head]].
+
Keep in mind that weapons that come with a [[decal tool]] when bought in the store, such as the [[Conscientious Objector]], will not come with a decal tool when tested.
  
===Bundles===
+
Deleting the test item from your inventory will not result in the trial period being terminated. You will still have to wait the same amount of time to try out a new item, and you will not get the same item back.

The first purchase made in the in-game Mann Co. Store will grant the player a [[Mann Co. Cap]], an all class baseball cap with the Mann Co. symbol on the front. Though Valve has claimed that there is only a limited amount of time before this cap will be unavailable, the cap has been available since the release of the Mann-Conomy Update on September 30, 2010, and has been since a promo for any player to purchases their first item or items.

=== Halloween ===
+
The first purchase made outside the game through the Online Store, or the web interface as well, will grant the player a [[Mann Co. Online Cap]], an all class baseball hat with a darker color scheme and a white Mann Co. symbol on the front.
  
All items in the Halloween category were only available for purchase up to November 8th, 2010. They will not be available again.

==Mann Co. Store Package==
 +
{{main|Mann Co. Store Package}}
 +
For every $19.99/£15/€15/600 rub spent at a time in the store (before tax is applied), players will receive a Mann Co. Store Package which can be unwrapped to obtained a free item. This is taken from a standard random drop. Cosmetics and other rarer items generate with the same chances as the [[Secret Saxton]] gift.

Mann Co. Store Page
Browse, buy, design, sell and wear Mann Co.'s ever-growing catalog of fine products with your BARE HANDS--all without leaving the COMFORT OF YOUR CHAIRS!
Saxton Hale

The Mann Co. Store is an in-game micropayment service included in the Mann-Conomy Update. The store allows players to purchase in-game items such as cosmetics, weapons, and action items using money stored in their Steam Wallet. Creators of community-contributed items receive a percentage of sales for anything they've created. Aside from the main in-game interface, purchases can be made through this Wiki.

Items bought from the Mann Co. Store can be traded, but not immediately; previously, items purchased from the Mann Co. Store were unable to be traded. After the Hatless Update, tools and action items (excluding Pile O' Gifts and the Secret Saxton) bought from the Mann Co. Store were given a 2-day waiting period before becoming tradable. Following the Manniversary Update & Sale, untradable weapons, and cosmetic items that were previously purchased from the store can now be traded. Since the December 17, 2014 Patch, all items purchased from the store now have a one week waiting period before they can be traded, however they can be sold on the Steam Community Market immediately.

Weapons bought from the Mann Co. Store can't be used in crafting, while cosmetics can. Following the November 29, 2012 Patch items bought from that date can be used in crafting, while previously purchased ones can't.

Pricing

Prices vary greatly, with newer and rarer items priced higher than older and more common ones. As a rule of thumb, rare items cost ten or more dollars while common items (cosmetics excluded) cost less than five. These prices preserve the values of crafted or dropped items. On occasion, the store will have sales on cosmetics and weapons.

Purchasable items

Main article: Mann Co Store Pricelist

Previously purchasable items

Main article: Previously purchasable items

Non-purchasable items

Main article: Non-purchasable items

Weapon testing

Weapons can be tested by selecting the desired weapon in the Store, and clicking the "Try it out!" button at the bottom-left corner. However, cosmetics, tools, action items, and items labeled as "New" cannot be tested. This will give the player the selected weapon for one week, during which the weapon cannot be crafted or traded. After the week is done an alert will appear notifying that the test period is over, and the item will be removed from the player's backpack. Afterwards they will be able to test out another weapon, or even the very same weapon if they want. This process can be repeated an infinite amount of times without any adverse effects. As an added bonus, during the testing period, the player can buy the item for a 25% discount off of the regular price.

Keep in mind that weapons that come with a decal tool when bought in the store, such as the Conscientious Objector, will not come with a decal tool when tested.

Deleting the test item from your inventory will not result in the trial period being terminated. You will still have to wait the same amount of time to try out a new item, and you will not get the same item back.

Events-specific pages

During some events, special pages will show up in the store for a limited time.

Promotional Mann Co. Caps

Main articles: Mann Co. Cap, Mann Co. Online Cap

The first purchase made in the in-game Mann Co. Store will grant the player a Mann Co. Cap, an all class baseball cap with the Mann Co. symbol on the front. Though Valve has claimed that there is only a limited amount of time before this cap will be unavailable, the cap has been available since the release of the Mann-Conomy Update on September 30, 2010, and has been since a promo for any player to purchases their first item or items.

The first purchase made outside the game through the Online Store, or the web interface as well, will grant the player a Mann Co. Online Cap, an all class baseball hat with a darker color scheme and a white Mann Co. symbol on the front.

Mann Co. Store Package

Main article: Mann Co. Store Package

For every $19.99/£15/€15/600 rub spent at a time in the store (before tax is applied), players will receive a Mann Co. Store Package which can be unwrapped to obtained a free item. This is taken from a standard random drop. Cosmetics and other rarer items generate with the same chances as the Secret Saxton gift.
