Yes expire that means you can't use it in game anymore.. ., but this only for chest. You can't open them because even if you trade for chest in game key doesn't cooperate with chest, but item's work fine with bug*


Also you must remember then this items use only for collecting and future selling for more because if they are less on steam community item be more rare and price go up. That why people keep it.

Chest that you get from all game's from steam platform have numbers and under the numbers they are diffrent design and content. Some are issued on event or christmas and sometimes valve think that they need some money to new tire and give new part of chest. For someone chest can be cheap not worthing item but there is a lot of people who collect all numbers from 1 to XYZ and only reason is just ,,have " and satisfy all needs of having. Like with Pokemon.. if you got one... you must Catch 'Em All.

In spite of all Steam create time restriction for some chest to increase selling key's because if you do not get the item now it will not be later occasion, and as there will be the opportunity that prices will go up. It's clear as the sun, but there is still a lot of people who do not know that such box will disappear after you start the game *.

Keys to the expired Chest have no expiry date and no worries we can keep them or sell without concern on the steam market. After all, even if you have the key and the box will not be able to open them because of the expired time box.


Also check that dota 2 got info about expire date but team fortress don't :





* there is a bug. If you trade chest with open game you will not have to worry about disappearance, because it no longer disappear. Only if you trade with turn off game and turn on game it disappear.

This chest lost expire date and you can't open it. Not today, not tomorrow Never.
