The value of keyword-keyword.com

If you don't own the unhyphenated version

I still do not see a lot of really successful hyphenated domains. Might be due to companies and brand owners keeping them in the back hand as a supplement to their unhyphenated version.

Is there REALLY some value to them if you don't plan on developing them but buy them for resale at a later point?

I think the main advantage of having them is to stop your competitors from buying them!

Exactly!

And this reduces the overall value of the domain, especially as compared to the non-hyphenated?

Or is there anyone out there who runs the show better with a keyword-keyword.tld domain, maybe let's say because separated keywords within the domain name perform better?

My take on hyphenated domains is that they're advantageous in Yahoo and they aren't disadvantageous in G - so why not.
