I own them so I can't check atm.

Might be interesting for gift collectors: added the free "Half Life 2" game to my alt account & then decided to also gift the "Orange Box" for 1,95€ to that account. Got all missing games/DLC's, plus it also dropped copies of the following 2 Steam gifts:

"Half-Life 2" Steam Gift
(Includes 2 items: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast)

"Half-Life 2: Episode 1" Steam Gift
(Includes 6 items: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, Half-Life Deathmatch: Source, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two)

It says on the gift if it does, bottom in small text

If it doesn’t = untradeable

The sale is possible only through third-party sites, the exchange is possible after 30 days

it says "Tags: not marketable, not tradable"
but possible its because of the 30 days hold ? ;) - thats why, wait for 30 days over.

Also, why does it show me then that I can buy "The Orange Box" again when some people are saying "no"? :)

It literally says the gift will become tradeable after 30 days.
All items on "hold", like trading cards bought on the market, are marked not tradeable until the hold is over

Try to continue payment. I can also add to cart but the payment stops after "initialisation"

Yeah, true. I have a gift copy of 7 Days to Die but it is not tradable. Gifts are not always tradable but sometimes or always giftable maybe, as far as I can understand now.

It’s the same with divinity too. Bought it for the gift and can’t trade it at all. It’s why I was curious if the same restriction was here.

Is there something I don't know? Or in other countries, gifts can be sold in the incentive?

Exactly. Pretty sure it's part of Steam's scam protection program, so that games aren't purchased with fraudulent transactions & sold on a 3rd party site.

Right, just click on the gift and if there is a date it will become "tradeable" after that time. Unlike trading cards game copies aren't marketable on the Steam community market, so they are not & will never become "marketable". However, you can trade them directly with other users for other stuff like tf2 keys or other game gifts.

If you already own all the OB things:

Immediatly after you put the orange box in the cart, steam delete you -3 from your game count (HL2, HL2 DM and Portal)
And give you the 2 gifts.
