No.  You can only 'gift' new games or parts of special offers that you already own (like with the orange box) to people on steam.
Makes sense from a business standpoint (if you're Valve), but yeah, I wish I could give away or sell on my old games. And unfortunately there can be no second-hand market (not even with a % of every sale going to Valve) on a digital platform, what with there not being any wear and tear on media carriers or key troubles. |

well, Steam's refusal to honor the first sale doctrine is one of the things that pisses me off about Steam. Granted, most games are worthless after a year, but it'd be nice to be able to give them away or sell them. Destroying the second-hand gaming market is something all kinds of game companies would just love. |
