Following the great example of and supported by (see rep) Chicken Nugget's (original) Hat Bank: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/248254, I started a:
==============================================================================================================
Uncraft Hat Bank v1.1
==============================================================================================================
==============================================================================================================
Some people just don't have the metal funds (yet) to buy all kinds of fancy hats, but uncraft hats aren't that expensive.
Now you have a place where you can get uncraft hats for a small fee, just like the original hat bank.
And who doesn't want a cool hat? : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZouYNu3Z6k&feature=BFa&list=LL7VyON1TN84wMLjVB9o63_A
Be warned that I hold the right to reject a trade - this bank is to get less wealthy people hats, not for people with unusuals e.g. to trade a batter's helmet for a blighted beak as to make a profit.
All available hats are on page 7 and 8 of my bp: http://www.tf2outpost.com/backpack/40902
===== [The hat of your choice] FOR [any uncraft hat of yours] + [1 scrap] * =====
* If you want a higher class hat (see below), you must also add the additional difference.
* If you give me a higher class hat, you do not need to add the 1 scrap fee
* Please do not only dump class 0 hats into the bank, otherwise this well will run dry quickly.
* The metal that is earned by the bank, goes bank into the bank. ;)

You can buy any hat with metal!
The following hats are considered class 0: Prussian Pickelhaube, Professional Panama, Batter's Helmet, Glenarry Bonnet, Respectless Ruber Glove, Pyro Beanie, Football Helmet - costs 1 reclaimed

Every hat that is worth clean 1.33 (Check http://www.tf2spreadsheet.blogspot.nl/ ) is considered class 2 as uncraft hat - costs 2 reclaimed
For every hat that is worth 1 reclaimed above 1.33: +1 scrap
Per 2 reclaimed steps of paint value: +1 scrap
Double paints: +1 scrap
Level 42 or Level 100: +1 scrap
Misc (instead of hat): +1 scrap
If you are confused, feel free to ask
I am aware that this formula tends to become invalid with highly conveted uncrafts like the Team Captain or Last Breath - I do not expect these hats to appear often in the bank for that very reason. It has happened before, but I assume it will be very rare.
If you want to sell a hat for metal than I refer you to the buying thread here: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/2639433
