So unlike the title suggest, I recently obtained a copy of TwinBee through a buddy. But when I finally had the chance to sort through my mail, I saw that the game is factory sealed still.
I don't have ANY appreciation for sealed stuff, but some people do I guess? Anyways though, I just want a playable copy for myself. I'll do a straight trade +postage with anyone for a CIC copy of Twin Bee in good condition.
I know it's not a big deal, if nobody cares i'll just open it whenever i'm playing PCE next. But if someone would appreciate the cellophane more than me, shoot me a message.
Here's some pics:

I will PayPal you $5 to open it.
I'll trade you a loose HuCard for it. It's a screaming deal.
I am confused.
Playable copy?
Bought unaware it was sealed.
Tells me a open or sealed copy are of equal value.
With that said what did you pay for it? Can't really offer a trade if we don't know what you paid for it. Run the risk of offering you a $5 trade game for something you might have spent $20.
Also what are you looking in trade?
Open that fucker, and at least make an interesting video while doing so...

When i said "I want a playable copy for myself" I meant that I want an opened copy of TwinBee so I can play it. I don't need it sealed. My sealed copy came from a Nintendo collector who I traded with, he doesn't know PCE that well so I got my stuff at awesome value.
I'm only doing this incase someone likes sealed PCE (for whatever reason). And wants to trade their opened TwinBee for my sealed one. There's literally no benefit to me

Open it open it open it...games should not stay sealed...
OPEN IT...
Like everyone else is saying, open the game! Besides, it comes with an awesome sticker sheet with characters from the game that you most likely won't find if you obtain a used copy of the game.

... convinced
+1 on freeing it from its suffocating prison.
People that collect sealed games probably aren't people you want to deal with anyway. More often than not, they're scumbags.
Still not convinced comrade? Visit:

I'm tempted, but it's a really good game, and I think I'd just end up opening it myself :/
The thing is, I could trade you my CIC copy for this sealed one, but when it got to my house I would just open it. I've had the pleasure of unsealing a couple of Turbo games in the last couple of years, and would love to do it again.
My point is, you should open that game.

You speak the truth, they would probably find a flaw in the cellophane and make a fuss. So there is much validity in your point.
Why are you going through all that effort just to avoid unsealing the game? Just throw it into a VGA +85% NEW shell already.
"Trading sealed sardine can with an opened one. Must have oil and fish inside intact. US shipping only."
What I meant to say is: if you open it you can play it right now, so why not?

Maybe they use the cellophane from PCE games to protect them from the Fuckushima radiation, trying not to be ignorant to anyones perspective

Record yourself doing it and post it on YouTube. Ask the sealed collectards to mail you their tears.

Yeah why not, i've recorded myself opening all of my other sealed stuff
I don't think this is the right place to offer up sealed games. This ain't Nintendo age.

That's honestly funny.
I think it's really nice that he offered though. It's a very thoughtful gesture.
Please bring the game close to your nose and inhale as you open the cellophane.
Savor the stale air.
:)

Just don't inhale any cellophane and make it into a snuff film... :3

OK
I finally managed my time for a little bit of gaming this weekend. Remembering TwinBee was still sealed, I get out my iPhone and start recording myself opening it.
Only after fully opening it, i realized THE RECORDING STOPPED BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF STORAGE :evil:
But never the less, it's still opened. And holy cow is this stuff minty, i'm used to getting jewel cases pretty scratched up. So this was nice to see.
Here's some pics, I know there's just an OCEAN of disappointment. But the game has been saved from death by VGA.
And the stickers are sweet.

Kudos to you sir for freeing this game from its cellophane prison! =D>
Send me all the extras, lol kudos on an open well done...
:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
Another success story. Unshelf, unseal, enjoy!
Noice stickahs!
Just gotta dig out my PCE and I'll cover it with even more stickers than before haha
The white stickers stand out too much on my TG16
Yay!
I applaud your decision.
