Can you transfer it? If so, seems like it would be hard to prevent secondary markets from forming.

No, they don't have a way to move anything other than games. Probably specifically to avoid the chance of a secondary market forming. Trying to police real world trading is hard so they just cut off the chance for it entirely.

I was wrong there is a trading system this is just about moving items between accounts. Some places implement balanced trade requirements to get around RWT.

You can sort of transfer it via trading. There is a black market that exists, but it is FULL of scammers.
