Things are only worth what someone else wants to pay for it. If anyone decided to sell you would have to find a buyer that wanted or would be willing to take everything. Otherwise to sell everything seperately would take alot of time & you may end up with leftovers you dont want. If i ever,& thats if i sold things off i would probably only end up with around 30k for it all give or take. As for why collect,dunno probably because its pretty to look at,lol

That thing is going to be worth diddly squat if it isn't already

Quality and Rarity are most important

A single truly rare and desirable CE can be worth 10x it's price in 10 years but those rarely occur

Exactly. Some people have become over-obsessed in buying, for example, The Last of Us multiple retail versions when dozens of thousands are available. Then there are obscure games in Kickstarter that have limited numbers of less than 20 units in unique collector editions (signed, with statues, maps, hard-cover books, grimoires etc.).

These, in my opinion, because of how few actually do exist in 20 years' time will have multiplied their prices considerably because of their rarity. And if still sealed likely even more. It's all about supply and demand. If DSULE had been released instead of a 1000 units in a run of 50,000 units we wouldn't even be talking in these forums as it being the X360's holy grail. It's key to collecting that the runs are limited to the hundreds.

As a lot I might reach 3k at most if I include the shelves

I've had to "flip" some so I could buy another one that I wanted more at a higher price. So I sold it at the selling rate. Thanks Im a scumbag?

I can't compute now how much money I spent on my collection and I think 20% of it are shipping extra cost.
