No, I don't have Keio yet but my copy of Snatcher came today. I am very happy with it.

I'm debating selling mine.  Money's kind of tight, so I may have to part with it soon.  I'll see how things go for the next few months before I decide.

Mine is mint all around except for the booklet.  It's in perfect condition and looks like it's barely been opened, but a previous owner wrote some codes on the back cover and the last two pages.  Those markings will probably cost me around $50-$75 in lost value.  I paid only $8 for it so I guess I can't complain.

In the past 5 years, prices have gotten ridiculous on all classic systems.  I've had some eBay saved searches setup that long on some titles I'd still like to pick up, and I'd pass them up because they weren't enough of a deal in my book, only to see prices in the past year or two really get crazy.

Case in point, one of those items is TMNT IV for SNES.  It's in my list just because I was wanting a new box to replace mine which isn't in the best shape.  A couple of years ago, I was looking for a deal less than $40, as that's about what a boxed copy would go for, and I just wanted the box, and I setup a saved search just waiting for a deal with a ending time convenient for me.  These days, a loose cart goes for that.  A boxed copy is closer to $75-$100.

Well at another forum I frequent there is somebody selling a copy of Keio: Flying Squadron.  I will warn you it's not cheap though.

Wouldn't be surprised.  I was complaining about the price in the forum I linked.  

IF
  I were to sell mine, would ask $150-200 for it.  More than I paid, but not too terribly greed influenced.
