Will all items not currently tradable become tradable if I upgrade to Premium

team-fortress-2

I am thinking of making my TF2 account premium, I have a couple good weapons I want to trade. These weapons currrently are "Not Tradable". If I upgrade, will these weapons become tradable?

Actually, yes. If you picked up item drops that are currently untradable, they will become tradable once you become premium. The only exception to this are Achievement items, which are always untradable (usually only tradable through gift wrap).

I tested this out using an alt account to go premium. Weapons and a spare name tag that were previously untradable became tradable the instant I became premium (bought myself a Giftapult, only 10cents).

There is an exception though. Items that are designed to be untradable by default (Achievement items, Support granted items, Badges, etc.) will not become tradable if you upgrade to premium.
