The new cheapskate me thinks you could have gotten cheaper by going loose. However the collector me totally understands the joy of buying, and opening, a treasured toy.

Re: As collectors, how mad would you be upon hearing...
I once had a female wal-mart cashier ask me if I was a collector because I was buying two or three different deluxe transformers. I said yes.
She then asked whether I keep them sealed. I shook my head and said "definitely not, they're transformers, if I keep them sealed, I can never transform them."

Darn right! Transformers are my favorite toys specifically because of the tactile fun of transforming them!
I really don't get the sealed collectors.
Well I do keep a couple of toys sealed, but they're spare meant for future customs and I just don't want them to get dusty in the meantime but I have more of the same mold I can fiddle with.

Well... what the buyer doesn't know won't hurt them. Just rinse with soapy water and towel off.
But this does bring up a question. If you saw a Fort Max for sale on Craig'slist for $10 but the description said, "Clean, but was pooped on once by a baby." Would you buy it? And would you care?

in this case after spending the night in a tub of vinegar and water or light detergent I would take it for sure but then again I have dogs (raised from puppies) and baby of the way so a little fecal matter is not that much of an issue to me any way.

Re: As collectors, how mad would you be upon hearing...
It depends on the toy and what you want to do with it. If you want to sell for profit keep it sealed or if you are not selling free it from its prison. The type of toy can determine it to. Like action figures. I see some in box that it is upside and that would be cool in box OR if it has a cool pose you might keep it seal. But if you don't care free it.

Re: As collectors, how mad would you be upon hearing...
Im so glad the community is sensible.
I have heard a ALOT worse from other communities about opening rare/expensive sealed toys.
It scares me sometimes how nuts people go over shit like that.
