I have an iPod Touch that I need to keep up til the 9th (so no selling early).
How much will I be able to get for it after the new one is released?

No one can really say for sure, MacRumors users don't control the economy. If you're looking to unload it, compare the original price to the refurb price - at which point you should begin crying - on Apple's site, then subtract an arbitrary number from that to get the mean market value, resulting in a loss of money and triggering uncontrollable sobbing. Good luck!
There's a great chance the price of a Touch will be going down. CNet reports the Samsung P2 will become the P2+ and will come out the 14th at a cheaper price for the same memory. 8gb was $229. Will be $179 for the new model. Not known if anything will be different other than the included firmware version. The price is relative to the lower cost of flash ram. Apple could easily lower the price $50 for each memory model, so I'd sell ASAP if you don't intend to keep the one you've got.
well...apple halved the prices of the iPhones,... I guess,...they will do the same with the touch for example, because it´s the most expensive player,... gosh, i hope, they will halve it 
as steve said,... the iPod can´t be more expensive than the iPhone...hopefully

One can hope
sell it now on ebay, there are some people out there who will buy it not knowing of an update. You know the apple stores are still selling em to people at a cost of 499 when they will most likely get dropped tuesday.
I craigslisted mine a couple days ago for $260. I priced it low so it could sell fast.
If the new one comes out and it's $200, then you're screwed.

Get real. The only thing Apple makes that under $200 is a charger for a MBP.
My guess...
16GB = $299
32GB = $399
64GB = $499
Dropping the 8GB (or dropping it below $200 to $199).
Those are my two cents and, as you can tell, I'm not overcharging.
They're not going to have them way to high. Remember at this point apple may want to keep prices low in contrast to iPhone 3G. To try to keep things a little even I think they may make prices lower than many may think.
Here's my theory. It may be seen as crazy, and it may turn out to be so here goes:
16GB: $249.99
32GB: $299.99
64GB $399.99
I would wager that they're gonna drop the 8GB touch. It's just way too small to be practical.

Looks good to me. I'd probably get a 32GB at that price. I just don't think I can use (or need, that is) 64GB. Definitely agree about the 8GB version being dropped, though. That's almost certain.
I'm not throwing what you think out the door but $199 is ridiculous. Not much profit there. I'm not saying I would rather pay $299, but that is definitely not going to happen.
Apple's making the iPhone 3G for around $100. There's plenty of profit at $200, especially with how well the new models will sell this Christmas.
8 GB: $249*
16 GB: $299
32 GB: $399
64 GB: $499 (Q1 2009)
* Why not $199? Because right now 4 GB -> 8 GB is +$50. 8 GB -> 16 GB is +$100. So with the update, 8 GB -> 16 GB would be +$50.

64gb: free to anyone who is exactly right guessing what the new prices and features will be. Kevin Rose is excluded.
