I have a chance to buy some misb vehicles from the early 80s. I am going to look at them in the next few days. I do not know the seller very well but my concern is whether to open them and make sure everything is there in the boxes or leave them sealed and assume they have never been opened.

Look at the tape...does it look original? If yes, then I'd leave them sealed and assume they are all good. If the tape looks tampered with, then I'd open them.

Also, big price/value difference between original sealed and re-sealed.

Open them and play with them. i'm suprised you MISB arnt encorging him to open them. If he opens them then yours potentaly go up in value. ....... okay all kidding aside. i don't care for MOC or MISB but thats just me but saying that i probly wouldn't buy them either unless i got them for a steal but then i would see like these guys said if it was original tape or resealed. then depending on that i would trad them to people who wanted them for stuff that was already opened. but thats me.

I don't collect MIB, but if I were to find an old 80's Joe that was MIB, I wouldn't open it. There just isn't any reason to. You might as well sell it to an MIB collector that will really enjoy it and then use the money to buy four mint, out of package examples of the toy.
