Finally some good news! I've been waiting for quite a while for such a ruling.

Edit: Seems this cites an article from 2012, I didn't notice that (and it's still news to me). Though there's still hope that it'll happen, EU is slow, but usually eventually gets shit done.

Please Valve, be the first to implement a market for the players on Steam, and once again you’ll be the pioneer that everyone tries to copy.

They literally just need to add a way to "repackage" a game from your library into an inventory item and then they could use the Marketplace they already have

It would be cool but they probably wouldn't pay money directly to your bank on sale. It would still be locked to Steam. Wish valve let you transfer money out.

Greenmangaming was doing this a decade ago. Steam wouldn't be the first,but it might be the one to get it to stick.

(Ironically, it was predominantly steam games at first that couldn't be traded on GMG)
