I just got my key from zest.co.th.
It activated on Steam without a problem. I am downloading the games right now.

How about from here? http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=1561407

Now $24 for the cd key. Several people have purchased from this link and have received their keys already. I ordered mine a few hours ago. I will update when I get the key.

I got mine today. Just under 24 hours. It was in a rar file as a scan of a retail box. I already have the discs and I'm installing now. Activation was smooth and easy.

Actually you're wrong. He sent me a scanned picture of the CD key from the back of a retail box in a password-protected RAR file.

Yes indeed. Got mine last night as well after a couple emails to him. Worked fine

WOO HOO

okay now I am getting a message that Portal is not available in my territory and I don't have it installed any more..... The only game I have tried to install... so far but my guess is now Valve is locking this down.

I jumped as well but have not received my key as of yet. Another thing occured to me, since this is in thailand, what is the possibility of this person having access to the retail boxes themselves at some type of packaging facility, and just scanning them at random? That certainly would cause Valve to get in on the action quickly, dontcha think?
