Add my vote to the list of those that think the term "y'all" should never be used in NYC.

Some vintage things are worth more in the box - look at collectible toys, for example. The rarest of the rare NOS bicycle parts count among those objects.
I don't agree at all. I'm a firm believer that these items should be used and enjoyed as intended (so used as a bike part, or as a toy...) I'd go as far as to say that those who prefer to keep these items unopened for all of eternity have some issues to resolve. Of course there is absolutely nothing wrong with having some unresolved issues. We probably all have them. But I think the "don't ever open the packaging" people need to be honest with themselves.

I think we have the same taste in movies (as already established in another thread)... so have you seen The Wraith yet?
