Default Re: Are current gen CEs going to lose their value?

Hype value is not really the value though. It is only the value in a small window... as in Bioshock items will not be worth anywhere near what they were worth a week ago compared to a year from now.

Listing an item during hype time to get offers is just not what the true value is long term. I call it "hype value" and it usually is 2x to 4x higher then the real value (in extreme cases even more like with the MIR books).

Basically I consider the "calm value" to be the real long term value or at least the closest to the long term you can get. The small window hype values are only a good reference for those small few week time periods when a game launches.
