Default Is your collection worth more or less than you paid?

Just in your opinion. Also say what you collect. I'd guess that CE collections will be worth less and stuff like PK's will be worth more.

Personally mine's, in my opinion, worth almost double what I paid.

Probably a lot less, considering I open everything, but I don't care about value really, since I never plan on selling any of it xx

Yeah but it's nice to know you'll get your money back if you had to.

What vhal collects- everything, especially shiny things

I paid for all my First 4 Figures statues for the retail price where some of them goes for 800-1000 dollar on ebay now and one i won from a competition which sometimes goes for 1500-2000 dollar and i bought so much CE's for a cheaper price than the original price, i can tell my collection is worth a lot more than i paid for.

I collect steelies and CE's, maybe some random promo stuff if I can get it for a good price

Hmmm about the value of my collection

I know some things that I paid too much for but I am very confident that my CE's are worth more than I paid them

Steelbooks worry me to be honest. Always have a fear that the market will drop out on them and they'll just be worth the metal they're printed on

For example NFS undercover and Mirror's Edge used to sell consistently for a LOT of money like anything under 300 or 350 euro was unheard of, now that's not so strange

Based on current prices I would say my steelie collection is worth more than I put in to it though

Would be a pain in the ass to sell it though not that anything sort of a gun to the head would make me though

Not as worried as I am about the Uncharted 1 PK. They seem almost unsaleable at the moment. You can pick 'em up for ?200-250 in the dutch version. I just hope they don't drop much more. Still I'm slightly protect by having an English version.

The writing on the box is in English for all versions, but the included newspaper-y thing is in Dutch xx

I think my small collection is worth at least double and half I think. Even some items are damaged, I dont care, I love'em. For example I got the Master assassin edition almost for free, Auditore edition in a huge sale, black edition traded etc... But without this forum, I wouldn't have about half of it
