Maximum number of listings per name 50 (in ascending order of price)

A hold listing is created while the item is still under a Steam trade lock. You can buy it now, and it is delivered after the lock expires. Hold listings are omitted unless you pass include_hold=1 or true. Each hold listing then includes unlock_at (when the lock ends; delivery starts after that) and send_until (delivery deadline; if the item is not sent by then the trade fails and you are refunded in full). Both are RFC 3339 UTC. Regular listings omit both fields. A listing is trade-locked when unlock_at is present.

Prices are integers. 1000 = $1.00 USD.
