Can you give me an example of a gray market site that works by sending Steam gifts to accounts?

I think G2A sends you a key of a physical copy, do they not? Haven't used them for a while.

They do also sell keys, but most of the time the Steam gift is way cheaper.

For example the Garrys Mod Steam gift goes for ~9€ [1] while the key goes for ~16€ [2]

It's seller dependent, you can get gift copies (frequently from hacked accounts or otherwise)
