DIG: Hey, I have some leftovers from IndieGala GroupBuys. Let's make a bundle out of them and resell these games!
The only fact that I can state is that I've seen many times games added to the DIG marketplace right after the Happy Hour. And they were the games featured in the bundles that just had Happy Hour. Similarly, the same games that were just bundled by Bunch Keys "happen" to be listed in the DIG store / "Discount Steam Keys" too. In previous times, this happened with GoGo too.
I don't think DIG has many customers, therefore a mere 40 keys from each Happy Hour game should suffice for a little while.
On the other hand, I haven't contacted any devs to ask them if they actually allow DIG to resell their keys this way, therefore I can't prove my assumptions.
But here are some examples. I've taken (randomly) the last BK bundle and one of the last HH IndieGala bundles.
All games from Bunch Keys Bundle #41: Indie Celebration are listed under "Discount Steam Keys" for $0.25 each, when a GroupBuy for the whole bundle costs $0.59.

All games from the IndieGala Celestial Wars Bundle (which had a relatively recent Happy Hour - last Sunday) are listed in the Marketplace for $0.25 - $0.50 each. A GroupBuy costs ~$1.50

Or people just trying to get rid of their bundle leftovers?
You could be right, wouldn't be the first shady thing.
After Gogo/Otaku, no doubt made alot of devs careful to join other bundles.
Could just randomly try asking/mailing some of those devs.

Well, since September (or was it October?) last year, no one is able to sell anything on the DIG market any more. DIG has full monopoly on that.

Ah, okay didn't know that.
What i also find weird with them is they got like 4 seperate selling spots, like if you search for x game in the search box and it might not show up it might still be sold in the discount section, or they got different prices for the same game depending on what section you are in.

Wondering what games you already own from this bundle? There's an extension/UserScript for that! It's called the RaChart™ Enhancer!
Disclaimer:
I apologize for the toxic poll xD
I don't know if these keys come from reselling IG bundles bought during Happy Hour, but anyone who follows their website activity can easily notice that they buy bundles (from IG and BunchKeys at least) and then resell their contents individually, at a higher price. Maybe these keys are sold with the developers's approval, but it might also not be this case.
The poll's intention was to be half funny - half serious.
