    I used bolt cutters for mine, trying to keep the lid nice. Then I ran over the lid with my office chair and cracked it :( ><

    the pliers must have the cutting teeth , and can be tried on the extra wire. check before buying the correct pliers :)

    so the box can be left unscratched :)

    Send the next one to me, I'll save you the hassle and open it for you and pop the box straight back in the post - heck, I'll even pay postage both ways, out of the goodness of my heart...!

    cheers
    -noa

    one set of 2006 ASE set is selling for $300-$400 on Ebay, yes, it is opened. So even if unopened set, I doubt your buddy would get $5000 for one set.

    the gold set ........................not the silver set my good man ,you never see one go for less than 5500, the melt is 4800++++++ ,on a good day his 5 unopened sets would do 35,000.00 as you can still send them to pcgs as first strike, as the box has the post date on it, an ms 70 set 8000.00- 10,000 no problem, being unsearched very high probability of 2 ms70 sets at least, issue price if memory serves me was 2500
