My friend and I can't trade

In Team Fortress 2, I got this item my friend wanted to trade for, so we established a trade. But when we go to the items, it says I don't have any to trade, even for him. He has about 23 items and it still doesnt display anything.

You both need Steam Guard activated for 15 days for both of you to have an established trade. If that's not the problem, did you guys buy the items, earned them or crafted them? Purchased items cannot be traded, nor can the achievement items. If you use an item not tradable when crafting another item, the item is also not tradable. As far as I know, those are the only ways that makes it impossible to have any items for trade while having items in your backpack.

Click on New Trade Offer. Select the friend you'd like to make a trade offer to. Click and drag the items you wish to trade from both inventories into the trade boxes. Check the box to confirm the trade contents.50 Cent - Best Friend (Official Music Video) ft. Olivia
