What do you think should Jeff do with his sealed copy of Magical Chase?

Jeff tweeted this picture saying he found this sealed copy of Magical Chase when looking through his games, he also talked about on the bombcast. Saying he might sell it and fund the "raid". Magical Chase was released in the USA at the end of the TurboGrafxs life span and is very rare because you could have only bought it through mail-order. Jeff has been told it may be worth anything from $5000 to $+10,000. I added the Nissan GTR part because Jeff said recently on the Bombcast that while at a car dealership he saw the GTR and wanted to prove it to the car salesmen he could buy it. They go for about 90,000 and are the best value for performance on the market in my opinion, so a good down-payment and Jeff could get a bank loan no problem to pay the rest.
edit: I should have added "Open on camera and live-stream playing it"
Wait, I voted for the Raid, but screw that. Jeff and Ryan need to sell the raid idea to corporate as a company write-off. If he did end up using the proceedings for the raid, I'd go into Super Potato and buy out the entire PC Engine section.
@Demmetje: There is no way that screened is worth more than 10k. Especially with what BB are doing with it now.

Needs to happen, sounds like the best original content in a long time.
@Hunkulese: BB only really wanted Tested and the content on Screened has been a joke every since, they have had 9 posts on their forums in the past 7 hours. That shows how much traffic they are getting. The had 10 posts on a discussion thread on walking dead which is a huge show and should garner some attention and discussion. How much do you think its worth?
Hold a contest on GB and give it away to someone. But secretly rig it and give it to me for being me. Admittedly my plan is kind of biased, but at the end of the day it's a solid plan.

The shops in that area, Super Potato in particular, are actually really used to having foreign film crews come in and film their wares since Akihabara is such a major tourist destination, even if the gaming side of it is significantly less pronounced than in previous decades. Not that I don't condone the idea, but coming from experience, you'd need to head out of Akihabara before you find anybody's feathers being particularly ruffled at a bunch of white guys admiring their rare games on camera.
Open it and then damage it so it goes from sealed and mint, to opened and heavily used.
Why? Because, it would be hilarious. :D
Or fund the raid, either one works.
As much as E would be neat i chose F, for some reason i would love to see it being destroyed on camera
Set it all on fire.
In all seriousness, did I hear Patrick advocating that he bust it open and play it when they were talking about it on the Bombcast? I seriously remember him comparing keeping it sealed to keeping boxed action figures, as if a grown ass man is going to get more enjoyment out of playing with an unboxed toy than selling it for considerably more money.
Break the seal, throw away the box and the manual, throw it against the wall, step on it, shit on it, then sell it through Amazon for $1, 000.00, saying it's "Like new, great condition :-) "

Yeah but I'm literally picturing a raid like... they bust in the door with as many white people they can gather, and just furiously grab at anything remotely interesting while showering the shopkeeper in cold hard cash.
Basically I want a Japanese game show.
Sell it and fund the raid, obviously. But, if not for funding the raid, then film Jeff attempting to go into a car dealership and buy a car.
I want to see the Tokyo Raid happen, and for it to happen Jeff will need money. That copy of Magical Chase is worth money.
@Ravenlight:
Well, now I feel like I've wasted my vote. That should be an option.
I think he should try to sell it on eBay and then mail the highest bidder a video of him eating the game.
$10,000 as a down payment on a car that costs nearly $100,000 isn't a smart choice. Not a choice at all. Also the insurance for that car will be essentially the price of the car so no go.
Someone sold a really rare game recently (Atari Air Raid) & was in the news. But more importantly it had info on these two sources that might be useful to anyone else either wanting a game auction site or a site that grades games.
