Would you be interested in buying games on Steam store indirectly but at a lower price ?
HB offers 10 % charity or 5 % charity + 5 % wallet cashback. GMG and other reseller sometimes offer store credit points for purchasing. So there are advantages even at the same price.
But if it still would be the same (even after consideration of this), I'd buy it directly on Steam.

Unless you can pull something like the DailyIndieGame guy is doing ( pricing wise ) i highly doubt you can just open a store and sell stuff for the same price as steam :)
UNLESS , there is some bonus for buying from you like ppl already mentioned .
Like Humble / GMG / IndieGala etc ...
And even then , people are still kinda hard to trust a newly opened site .

It would depend on the regional pricing. A lot of resellers sell their games in USD (I believe Bundle Stars is the only exception that has a CAD conversion), so for me, it's cheaper to buy off of the Steam store most of the time.
If you're also interested in reselling Steam games, you would need some sort of guarantee like more reputable ones have, if you want to gain people's trust. IG, GMG, HB, etc. all have a great support system where if you are issued a duplicate key, they will send you a new one.
Were you looking to set up deals with developers to sell their games through a site you made, or are you just looking to sell off extra keys you've earned from bundles/sales? If it's the latter, you may just be better off trading~

I noticed that Valve just added a new rule recently, Review ratings only counts from reviewers who bought the game directly from Steam. So buying directly from Steam store if you want to contribute a review/vote to the final rating.
Other than that, I see no point buying games which more expensive. I'm not rich, so lower price is always better. No matter where, but must be from a trustable place.

Yes, Resellers that have reputation all over the world, example HB, Indiegala, BundleStar..
Obisoft even has an official list of their retail vendors, which is great, that is a kind of trustable list I mentioned (can buy Steam games from here too):

Even more, there are many traders that has reputation (yes pick them depend on rep, long list of rep always better), sometimes I buy from them since the prices are so tempting, but still not safe like buy from Steam Store or those resellers above.
