Opening a new in box item is really a personal thing to me. If one thinks that they will feel guilty by opening the item should certainly not. I am not that into boxes that much but I do have tons that are sealed but I have no qualms in opening them. I have thrown away more boxes than I have. I see these as toys and most of the time I just want to play with them. A lot of collectors have one to play with and another sealed to save. As far as value is concerned I think in this day and age is over blown as you won't get rich selling these in the future, in fact, one will probably take a loss factoring in the cost of living in the future.
Long story short...what makes you happy without reservations will lead you to what is right for you not for others.
