My view is that the owner imbues whatever value there is in a numbered kit. In other words, any value that it might have is as a memento, a personal reminder of a particular place and time. I have a couple of numbered kits, and I'm keeping them in the bags purely for personal reasons, and not because of any anticipated resale value. I don't collect kits that much anyway, but I keep the few that I have not for any investment purpose but rather simply for the memories and the aesthetics. They mean something to me, but I don't expect them to ever convey any of that meaning and value to anyone else. BTW, an unnumbered kit can just as easily assume this same type of value for the owner. The majority of my "collection" kits are not numbered. Any rocket, whether built or not, has whatever value the owner gives it.

Just looking at the bin that's here in the office, I see a Defender #16, a Point #10, and (probably the most interesting of all, considering what's been going on) an Orbital Transport #36. I know I had a couple of early versions of other rockets, but have built them (and lost them!).

Pretty sure one of my Semroc Saturn 1B's is number 10. It has not been opened.
I have SLS Explorer #6 or #7; I built it and put the production# decal on it. That one has flown like 20+ times.

In response to this discussion and sort of "just because" I decided to stash Start #9 and ordered another (along with some other stuff). It arrived today. It's #12. I'll have to take a group picture before I open #12 and start building it. miniHustler #17 is ready for filler. I have some hopes of having it to fly at next weekend's Pasture Blaster. If I do, it will have the production number decal on it as with ghrocketman's SLS Explorer. It will likely be the test mule for a comparison of several small peak-reading altimeters I'm planning to fly simultaneously - probably at Rolling Thunder next month - where optical tracking will also be available.

I recently received Mini Optima #17.
Hmmm. What to do, what to do.....
