If this was yours would you open it?

Here's one you don't see every day. If you won this eBay auction would you open it up and listen or keep it sealed?
Cheers-
Norm

 

Depends, is it an investment for resale value, or for listening pleasure?

 

Well Norm I wouldn't buy anything that I wasn't going to listen to...

But we all have our obsessions....

 

I think you hit the head on the nail.

 

Life is too short for sealed LPs and CDs!

 

Not for nothing, Larry, but I sure miss your previous avatar...

(Norm: I'd keep it sealed)

Thanks Ben, Which One?, The action in this one has really got me fired up. Look at the emotion...

 

True, true.....the pathos is evident....a riveting performance, to be sure....I don't know the actress but she's got that certain something...

The dude with the horns....classic!

 

That's my foster granddaughter... Mexican, Japanese, Puerto Rican and German = 100 percent American. (And Mom and Dads hands)

BTW my alter ego will be Bach...

 

She's a cutie!

 

I don't collect sealed copies of anything either so I would end up playing it.

 

If you bid on this auction, you are going to be paying a HEFTY premium for the fact that the CD is still in the sealed longbox. If you just want to listen to the CD, I'd wait to find an opened copy for sale.

What's HEFTY to you? Even open this one often goes for over $100.00.

 

The auction is far from over yet...

I would say that if you plan on opening and listening to it, the sealed packaging has negligible worth. Maybe $5-10 tops, just for the peace of mind of knowing is absolutely mint. Maybe.

I predict this package will sell for in excess of $5-10 over the standard opened price...

I don't care...I dig longboxes...it's irrational, it's unnecessary...it's fun!

This is me, because I KNOW if I buy something sealed, the temptation is too great to keep it that way. So Mr. Sniper (talking to just Norm here ), when are you going to bid?
