Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

I still put on Kiss - Alive to remind me what a great rocking band can sound like!
Even after Criss and Frehley left - the others still came up with some superb tunes.
And I (genuinely) enjoyed the cartoon film they did with Scooby Doo. That capacity to make fun of themselves without being a joke band.
Plus, they have some brilliant songs - Detroit Rock City, Unholy and Love Gun being personal favs.
I love his playing, it is always so unmistakably him.
Its the only album i know, but lots of decent stuff on there.
Here is a non single/hit track as an example. Great song, not out of place on an eagles/smiths album musically. Great simple style musical guitar work.
I've also got a picture disc of.... something, with the band's signatures scratched on the back of the vinyl (I guess they just scratched a master copy, not each individual record).
I don't know what guitar Ace is playing here, but if you look at 0:58 it seems to have a contoured heel, like something @FelineGuitars would make today.

In terms of albums
The first three studio albums (Kiss, Dressed to Kill and Hotter than Hell) are glam rock in the 70's meaning of the term not unlike Alice Cooper, or as others have mentioned Slade and are pretty decent.
The next 3 (Destroyer, Love Gun, Rock N Roll Over) are much more theatrical and are their creative peak with most of the best and most famous songs.
The first two live albums Alive 1 and 2 are all time classics and well worth having (unlike most live albums)
From that point on they went down hill with the occasional bright spot like "I was made for lovin you".
Once you get to the 80's they become a more conventional 80's glam / soft metal band like Poison with the occasional decent song like Heavens on Fire or Unholy and are fine if you like that kind of thing. From the mid 90's they essentially became a tribute band to themselves and though they've released a couple more studio albums they aren't worth bothering with.
As others have said they aren't really a studio band and are famous as being one of the most over the top and fun live acts of all time.
Destroyer is ace though . Love em . I think gene seems a real nice guy for someone so famous and with such astute business acumen
