I cant gift The Handsome Collection on Steam

[Alkael]

I bought for myself and i wanna gift to someone, why i cannot buy it again? SOME HELP PLEASE!

[Draekus]

you can not " gift " the Handsome Collection Bundle.
because it deducts what you already have, and everyone has different content.

Yep, it's one of the few items on Steam where "gifting" is disabled. That isn't an accident or a technical problem.

You can still buy the individual pieces and gift those.

You can't gift the Handsome Collection, but you can gift a digital Steam card.

This isn't the case. I do not own ANY of the collection and it wont let me gift it.

It's a collection. If you want to gift it, send wallet funds to buy it or get it one third party key seller site and give the code.

You can also send items worth the price of the collection to that friend so that he sells it on the market if for whatever reason you don't or can't do any of that.

If you can buy something on Steam, you can buy someone a gift card they can use to buy things on Steam.

No, that's not how it works at all. But the reasons don't really matter here, I was just pointing out that if someone already has the money added onto the account and wants to send that Steam money to a friend, that's one of the ways to do it.

If you send a game, I don't think a game is marketable, they might get a refund. The simple way is digital gift card/s. I've done that.

Edit: I've also bought the Handsome Collection for a friend from Humble Bundle and sent him the code to add to his library.

I'm not talking about sending a game.
For example, you want to buy B2HC (which costs you 5 coins) to your friend Jack, but you can't buy it for him as a gift, and since you only want to buy the game with the money you have on your Steam account (let's say you have 10 coins), you decide to buy a CS:GO skin worth 6 coins instead, in reality it costs 5 coins but Steam takes 1 extra coin, so you give that item to Jack, he sells it on the Steam market for 5 coins and then buys the game.

I'm not sure how many ways are there of doing something like this, but that's one of them. Of course you could just buy a gift card or add money directly onto his account, maybe give him the money in real life, etc. But not everyone has the money, access to gift cards, likes using third-party websites to buy these type of thing, etc.

OK, so sure, you CAN do that, and waste money, as you said, Steam takes a cut.
I went to the Steam store with a browser, not logged in so it's doesn't know I have it all, it shows to be $14.77.

What you suggest is likely to miss the sale and cost more. If you have access to the Steam store, I have no idea why you wouldn't have access to the digital gift cards they sell from the Steam store.

Not saying you can't do that, but the person would be forced to rely on the marketplace and likely forced to sell cheap losing value to insure a fast enough sale. To me it looks like a bad way to do it.

Of course not. Because gifting is disabled.

Gifting is disabled because of what Draekus said. Everyone has something different. It doesn't matter that you don't own any of it, "none" is still a variable value. It just happens to be the one you personally hold. Since the value is "variable" gifting is disabled.
