Regular models indeed mostly don't, but there are exceptions, most notably FX 5800 ultra. Limited releases however often fetch a pretty penny, like Asus Mars and Ares series (only 1000 made of each model). I've actually been really keen on getting a Mars 2 for quite a while, but so far no luck, therefore I am somewhat ashamedly jealous of Derbauer having 2(!!!):Eh I have never seen old gpu's increase in price due to collectors interest

Those are valuable because they were never released, not because they are old. Old crap is generally that, and priced accordingly. Only the very best of the best will catch the nostalgia wave and fetch a premium. Things that were never released, or exist in incredibly small numbers are valuable *despite* their garbage performance.BitBoys Pyramid 3D is out now too
