Will this move bump up VF V8 prices ? more so series 2

I don't see how, it's really just making people even less convinced there will be parts support, with Holden foldin'.

No. It's only a Commodore, not a Maserti Levante Trofeo... (BTW, Masertai is a struggling marque now).
V8s are the preserve of only a very, very small percentage of enthusiast drivers (Fords, Holdens). For others e.g. V8 Touraregs, Range Rovers et al, they are a necessity for heavy towing (large caravans, horse floats, vehicle trailers, etc.) rather than dim-minded donuts and smokos in the backblocks of the 'burbs.

You can bump up prices on any car by keeping klms low/reasonable, the engine serviced to-spec, overall condition pristine and generally showing you care about the whole car, not just what's under the hood. I got a fantastic trade-in on my old VZ, because kept it in as pristine condition as I could despite three trips "around the block", a sandblasted windscreen and a slightly tatty cargo bay.

Any impact in that regard occurred following the closure of the factory and the cessation of V8 Commodores in October 2017.

ZB not V8 so no relevance imo.

If the Holden brand disappears, it could be that the monetary value of Holden V8's end up being like Chrysler's and Valiants today. Because the brand (if Holden brand disappears from retail) simply won't exist anymore, it'll be a long forgotten thing in 30 years time. Yes, special but perhaps not valued as much as other manufacturers still around, especially those with heritage programs that one can take their vehicle to for refurbishment/restoration.

"Limited edition Australian-made models are likely to peak the interest of car enthusiasts and collectors, he said."

He means pique.

Wouldn't mind $300,000 stashed in the kitty for a playful retirement in 10 years' time...

I don't think this will be the case. Vals were always the undesirable cheap alternative, back then, and the lack-of-interest then translates to a lack-of-interest now.
Similar to how an XR8 (remembering Ford is still around) is worth less than a Redline.
