Should I open a NIB Coleco Telstar Classic??

[Breetai]

So... it's been over a year now, and every single day I wonder; did you open it?

[Hazerd]

Open it! if i had the money id buy all the VGA graded games off ebay and open them.

...should I open my sealed Pebble Beach Golf Links 3DO game?

SELL IT AND BUY AN ALREADY OPENED ONE

Seriously! EVERYBODY WINS.

In cases like this I agree with this 100%.

For items where there aren't many in such a pristine condition, some people get a lot of joy from owning such unique, NIB items - probably a lot more than the joy you would get from opening it - and are willing to *happily* pay for it.

Sell it, and with the money do whatever you want: which can include getting a non-NIB copy (or not).

I would keep it myself if it had special sentimental value (depends on how you like the person that gave it to you etc.).

I say open it. How often can you say you could open something that old that's still "new".

Yeah, that's pretty awesome. I'd love to do that.

Buy one that's opened and play that one
