There: satisfied everyone?? The inspiration behind this poll is from the recent thread on the $960 sealed Benny sold on eBay Jan 26, 2014. A comment was made that there must be less and less sealed Benny's out there. I've read comments similar to this in days gone past, so why not put some concrete numbers down. We have a list of Benny owners on here in the ongoing "I have a Benny vinyl" thread or whatever it's called: Can those that have a copy of it, please respond below. Don't worry, no one is gonna come to your house and steal your Benny... riiiiiiight Leeze?

THIS IS MY LAST EDIT. PROMISE. Sorry folks for pissing you off. i'm pissing MYSELF off and I'm PISSED OFF.

    Purchased mine opened in February 2012 for $850. Had to sell a few things to raise the money, but it was worth it.

    Did you account for skewed results from people posting in this thread with jokes and smartass comments like "I have one sealed and one extra", or "I have 5sealed ones"!

    Anyone can post in this thread and say they have a sealed benny. Your poll will not be accurate or concrete at all.

    Mine stayed sealed until I got a new record player. No longer.

    Cmon all you wheeled and dealed sealed viny-ealdies... just because your Benny is sealed, doesn't mean your mouths should be. It's a free... whatever. Country, planet, get-out-of-jail-free card?? Sealed since the day it arrived in 2004.

    Dude - did you not SEE my other threads with options?? It was becoming a mess. hahaha. Too many choices made me go crazy. Decided to use the KISS principal and just have "sealed" and "Opened" as the options. Choose the one that best suits your situation.

    I have no reason to doubt this claim - you are insane, sir. To see your collection in person is a personal goal of mine.
