CE's an a investment?

I could see between $500-$1000 for mine. I have about 30 CE's.

There are plenty of collectors the problem is most CE's are produced in quantities that do not at all make them collectible

There were 600,000+ copies of the Halo 4 LE

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.
