I always like to throw a bone in the gears..  It's not so hard to get
access to a shrinkwrap machine.  How do you know, if you get a
shrinkwrapped game, that it is in the ORIGINAL shrinkwrap?  Especially
if there are no price tags or anything.  If you never open it, how would
you ever know?  Carbon dating?  The pungent odour?  To me it is absurd
to collect shrinkwrapped games at not open them - you're just opening
yourself wide to scammers (not that I'd ever do that.. dum-de-dum..)

Anyhow, when I get a shrinkwrapped game (rarely) the shrinkwrap is the
first thing to go (unless I'm reselling it of course).
