snark, i wouldn't open that crate. That one came out before you could get "strange" items from crates. This means the non-hat non-usual non-paint items are actually worth something.

Eh, I have one unusual and it's the only one I'll ever need.

I would phrase that differently. In the newer crates you have a better chance of getting a Strange weapon that is worth more then a scrap. As more and more of the current series crates get opened, there is more and more supply of the particular strange weapons. Most of the strange weapons can easily be acquired for a Reclaimed Metal (The equivalent of six weapons), some as low as a scrap (Two weapons).
Most of the time you are better off trading a key for 2-2.33 Refined Metal and then trade metal for the strange you want.

Well his crate is series 7 - which was before they had stranges in them. There is literally zero chance of getting a strange...and there's no way the non-strange items will be worth more than 1/2 a scrap.
There is no easy way to answer this. I could advise you on some sites where items are traded for cash and would forewarn that sales are not always instant, it will take a little work and the possibility is always there to get scammed when you are dealing with real world money.
Fun fact: the highest amount an unusual has ever been bought for was a Burning Flames Team Captain, which sold for $2000 (not in promos, real cash). There is currently someone on SourceOp offering "97 buds + max + burning armored authority." This totals to ~ $2700 - $3200.
Ahhh... Back when I was new to TF2... I found a crate, traded for a key, opened it up and guess what? It was an unusual backwards baseball cap! Being a noob, I sold it for only two reclaimed metal. I feel so sad now...
^ I feel your pain - but not really. I only traded some 3 ref stuff for recs, before I clued in. 1% chance of getting an unusual is sooooo low. You could easily open hundreds and not get one.

I knew this had turned into trading real money but wow.

(it's incorrect for unusuals).

BTW, if you look at the Todays Top 10 you'll see a player named .n00bz.cdxliv Skyriming.. We just call him CD, he's in my TF2 clan.
