If your buying toys for the investment it might work out. But I suggest if that's what you want you then go full out and pay to get that stuff graded and sealed so your investment is secured.
BUT there is no guarantee you will ever make cash on any item you buy. Its kinda a crap shoot. Much like stock its a matter of trends, tastes and a dash of luck.
I'm not saying don't do it. Just know what to expect.
The other part of the argument do I open it.
For me its nearly always open it.
I like to have the experience of putting it together. Setting it up with figures making scenes even taking pictures.
I also have like 98% of my collection unboxed...because I as a kid played with them. And lastly...room. Say what you will, but stuff in box after awhile takes up
A LOT
of space.
Good point about making money is crap shoot. Anybody who bought 1990's Toy Biz Marvel figures knows they are worth no more 20 years later than they were when they first came out.
