There is ZERO hard evidence that half the LEs have sold, and I would think that isn't the case.
I know I wouldn't want to hear it or look at it objectively if I was buying a CE, but price will come down. You guys are forgetting the price tag. The game is 12.5k plus shipping and taxes. You really think you're going to get 13k a year down the road? Of course LEs are going to come down too. There is a huge FOMO going on about the CEs, and if you can't see that, you're blind. Gameplay reviews have been mixed. You can check this very thread if you need proof.
There are a bazzillion LEs available, and as some of you have stated, they will likely come out with a different CE to soak up some more profits. This is just the reality of all NIB, not just GnR. I knew I would eat a 1-2k loss on my DILE. You'll be able to pick up a CE in year's time for a good price, just like all the Stern LEs. It's not the old days anymore where your LE/CE (of almost any game) will appreciate in value. Saturation is upon us as well.
