Not necessarily, unless Intel does something with future CPU's that makes the old one's desirable (like how the initial FX release made the Phenom II's worth more with AMD), they will continue to go down until rock bottom like USAFRet said...maybe 20 years from now when there are only a handful left that you can actually buy will they go up, but until then they'll be like an old athlon 64...just going down down down until you can get one for $8.00 shipped.

Older AMD CPUs may go down in price until supplies dwindle and prices goes back up again. But older Intel CPUs do not really go down in price. You may see them on sale, but that's different compared a permanent or long term price drop. Again, once supplies starts dwindling, the price goes up.
For example, the Q9450 had a street price of about $320 when initially released. I bought mine for around $360 because there was such a high demand for them that e-tailers jacked up the price. Eventually prices settled back down to around $320. Nowadays a brand new Q9450 can be bought for $366.
