Hey I am new to unusual trading and I don't know what to buy.

What shod I buy ?

Decent effect, decent hat, decent price, decent buy orders, etc.

inb4 'bUy My HaT'

 

Good attributes: Soldier hats, hats which match the effect somewhat (like a wintery hat with Blizzardy Storm for example), hats with buy orders close to what you bought it for. 
At your price range I'd suggest effects like Orbiting Fire, Terror Watt, Kill a Watt, Blizzardy Storm, Circling Heart, Cloud 9, Disco Beatdown, at a stretch Vivid/Searing Plasma

 

Bad attributes: Heavy hats, hats with several other sellers, barely visible effects (massed flies, nuts + bolts), hats which are themed to a certain time of year when it's not that time of year (eg Gourdian Angel in Feb/March), unusual taunts at your price range (I find the higher end effects on good taunts sell fine but anything else just sits unless it's a key over the buy orders), and for whatever reason people hate robo hats

I'd avoid effects like Massed Flies, Nuts and Bolts, Overclocked, Memory Leak, Eerie Orbiting Fire, Bee Swarm

Didn't forget it, just didn't want to make an overly exhausting TL;DR list of every little detail

So bubbling is a bad effect ?

It's one of the lower tier effects. Profit can be made, but as a less desired item, it will be a more sluggish sale, and as you only have enough capital to flip one hat at a time, it's best avoided for right now unless you get a fantastic deal.
