I played it for a couple years and my bother used to play in Tournaments with it weekly. We loved the game. Very engaging, very fun and it takes strategy to another level trying to navigate and out-play your opponent. I have many of the 1st round ships and look to get my son into this game soon.
As far as reselling, you can always sell you collection on Ebay. I would not plan on making a profit on these though. I can only remember 1 time when a ship could sell for more than MSRP and please note I don't follow every ship or prices on this anymore, bit the Falcon was once bought out every where and you could flip them for 2-3x their MSRP easily until production increased again. This was probably 2-3 years ago.
But the game is very fun, expensive, but very fun. They only came out with a 2nd series because some of the ships they made were too big and they needed to revise the rules a little and also to make more money
