That information is confidential and can only be disclosed by the shop owner
if they choose to do so. It is good to check the feedback rating but then
feedback can be posted for both selling and buying.
On another note, I find it interesting and amusing that some people collect
old sealed vintage sets and then never open them :-) I can't see any other
reason in having a bunch of sealed sets sitting on a shelf other than with
the intent of reselling them in the future when they go up in value. Could
there be any other satisfaction in having sealed sets? Maybe the thought of
one day opening them or just the idea that I can rattle the box and look at
the old pieces still shiny and new after so many years in their original
baggies through plastic molding?
