There is currently no safe way to check whether a Steam key is redeemed or not. Some Steam keys (like the Humble Bundle ones) are marked invalid if you try to activate and already have them in your library.

Your best bet is to give them to friends or use them yourself, in case they don't work.

Not sure if you can check if those keys are already used.If I were you, I wouldn't risk making a giveaway but you can make a forum giveaway or posting here instead.

The only way to know what they are is use them. IF you already have the games, entering the code won't redeem them, just allow you to install it instead, but you also won't know if they were previously used by someone else. With keys, if you aren't certain and don't want negative feedback, a giveaway is recommended against.

Well, you can't use them in a proper giveaway, so either redeem yourself, give to a friend or dump them in a forum. There simply isn't a way to check, no matter how much people want it. Steam simply hasn't bothered to set up a method to do so.

I think its possible....Try to activate it and it will tell u what game is it and ask you are u sure to permanently add it to your library then u can decline and giveaway the key :D otherwise u will just be unable to activate it

As i remember if you activate the key - it activates permanently, so it wont work

That doesn't work, it tells you what the key is for but that is it added to your account, no way to undo that.
