I don't think collecting would ever be a good financial investment although my collection is worth more than I paid for it. That's mainly because the majority of my stuff is old RPG's from before CE's became so widespread so are just normal editions but have almost all increased in value.

Also, seeing as some of my oldest games are the ones that have increased in value the most but are 15 - 20 years or more old, with inflation they may be worth more but could technically be less than I paid. Unless of course they've increased a massive amount, like Earthbound for example.
