One isn't buying/selling the copy of the digital good, though, they are buying/selling a license to make copies for themselves from Steam's servers and to play said game.

They’re buying/selling a one-time redeemable coupon. Gamedevs have learned to stop distributing those coupons for a variety of reasons.

I believe that coupons should not be transferable once redeemed. Selling an unredeemed coupon is, of course, acceptable.
