If I buy a game with a "non-tradable" coupon, is the game tradable?

If I buy a game with a "non-tradable" coupon, can I trade the game? E.g. can I technically buy the game using the coupon, and then sell it on ebay?


You can not trade or sell games bought through the Steam store at all, regardless if you use a coupon. If you use the coupon and select "Buy as a gift" (instead of "Buy for myself"), you can gift the game to one of your friends. This feature does not provide any features or safeguards for a trade - it's a gift, meaning that you give something and get nothing in return.

Selling your games, if you found a way, is also against the TOS of Steam and will result in the shutdown of your account, and the loss of all licenses to games you previously owned. (emphasis mine)
