Have you ever given away a used key by mistake?
So 45 seconds after creating this thread I already had over ten entries... Damn.
I wonder if people even read. (No I don't; I know they do not. ;)

Probably not, at least not everyone
Tbh in this case the best way to handle this is a whitelist gib

I'm not a fan of white- and blacklists and thus don't use them but in this particular case it would have been a good option, true.

Thank you! And of course okay with a possible deletion.

Humble has a weird bug/glitch that sometimes fails to show some keys as used when the keys page is loaded. Refreshing the page usually resolves it. Just a heads up.
Edit: Oh and I have given a used key before, fortunately was able to trade for a new one within a day :)

Thanks for the gibs. GL getting decent winners in case there are problems.

So far I only had one key that I wasn't sure if it was valid or not, it was to a game where there were some issues with the dev that pulled some keys. So I decided to just ignore that key, since it was only one cheap game.
Thank you for the giveaways!
Bump~~

I have given away used keys multiple times. Or the wrong keys.
You make an error, you have to fix it yourself.

i usually give away gifts so it might be a bit difficult to send a used one 😅

It turns out that none of the keys had been used, so that was pretty good.
However, neither giftlink worked. And this is strange cause I normally don't use giftlinks and I couldn't find any giveaways I created with those giftlinks. I even checked my email to see if I had sent it to friends; nope. I also checked the giveaways I created for both those games to see if there were keys in there that were not in my Excel file but again; nope. So it's a bit of a mystery why those aren't working but c'est la vie, I guess.
In better news; all winners were quick to accept and thank and the two 'winners' of the non-working giftlinks were good sports.
And finally; I did find a giftlink for SpaceChem in my emails and a reply from the friend I sent it to saying that he didn't think it was his kind of game. According to HumbleBundle it has been used but I can't find a giveaway I created for it. Likely I gave it away on a now defunct site but since there is a tiny chance this link might work, comment below and I will add one (un)lucky person to Steam so they can tell me if it works or not.
Original Post
So I had HumbleBundle tell me what unused Steam keys I had... Thing is, a number of the ones it claimed were unused were set as used in my Excel document. I am just not sure who of us is right.
Hopefully for you HumbleBundle is right. :)
So I created giveaways for these games cause it would be a shame if they work but don't get used.
Please only enter if you are ok with me requesting the giveaways to be deleted should the key not work.
The below table links to the giveaways. If you have Sighery's RaChart™ Enhancer installed it will show you which ones you already own.
Many thanks to Sighery for improving his tool; I was able to create the table by just feeding the tool a list of game names. Next time I hope to have time to check out the API and find an even better way to create the chart.
