Default will it hold its value?

The BioShock Columbia 14 inch figure limited to 1000 will it hold its own or drop to silly money?
As I don't want to waste money on it of its just going to drop to 40$

Hi,

I must have missed this one - is there a link to it please?

Generally in my experience it's not just the limit but also the quality of the product that really determines this...

Regards
TMM

Because its individually numbered if you get a low number the value will increase but thats if

However if you like it buy it, i doubt it will drop to silly money

Who knows. Maybe if it appears prominently in the game, it will go up in value. I have one already and don't really regret buying it. Didn't really buy it as investment though; rather i bought it just because I like it.

I have a question for you guys.
If you have a sealed collector's edition worth, let's say, 200$(price on ebay), how much do you loose in value if you open it up and resell later? 20%? more?

I'd say more like 50%.

All games are different, so I don't think you can put a percent on it. You could always look at new vs. used prices on eBay, amazon, etc.. for whatever game you're debating opening vs. keeping sealed.

If anyone is after one of these, I found an ebay seller with very reasonable international postage, as of now, he has three left.

I quite like the look of this statue so I bought one, thanks for posting about it Lowly.
