and this collector's guide for gears of war 2

The Gears of War 2 Guide sealed new: 30 - 40$ US version
Used: 10 - 15$
I would hold on to it till the release of Gears of War 3 and I would recommend to sell (if you want to sell it) to the European Market if it is the US version. On eBay it can hit easy the 25 -30£ but it is a guide that will increase in value.

Question : Why do you guys think that a game price will increase once a sequel is released ? Doesn't make sense to me, I mean the game becomes "old" and everyone jumps on the new game (especially in multiplayer).

If you're a fan of the game you surely have the game already. If you are just a gamer you probably won't be interested to buy that game, it's "old" for you. And if you're a collector you probably "collected" the game. And if you didn't (because you think it was too expensive) you surely won't buy it if the price is even higher.

So ?

I am dealing on eBay for quite a bit now and I can guaranty that the price as well as the demand for earlier CE of the same game increase when a sequel or a third part of that game is released. My believe is that everyone starts a collection or gets involved in buying collectors edition Items,art books or games at some point. That means most are newcomers in the world of CE's and would start to consider buying items related to their favorite games.
Art books in particularly are in my opinion the best examples. Take Mass Effect, it was released as limited in the UK and as bundle in the US for around 17£ and 35 $ respectively. When the second part came out and people start to realize how huge the game was this book started to triple or even quadruple in price everywhere and was sold out in matters of weeks.
I imagine not everyone can get his hands on every CE that is/was released and therefore sometimes is reduced in paying a much higher price afterwards.
And nothing in the world of limited CE's should be considered at any stage as old because it is an in my eyes an investment on the long term.
