That's actually not a bad idea. For the price of your unopened set, you might be able to get an opened set as well as an excellent VCR. Maybe Silverwook can point you in the right direction, since I know he's in contact with a lot of collectors.

while its true that these are worth more sealed to collectors, it may be actually better to remove the plastic wrap.

as many of you know from one of my other posts i have a friend that works over in the Library of Congress. She is working cataloguing various vinyls. and sometimes she gets rare discs that are still shrink wrapped and she commented to me how she kinda feels bad because she knows she is reducing the price by like 90%. but she went on to say that the plastic shrinks over time (this is more of a problem for older plastics) and can cause the disc to warp...i dont know how much of a problem this could cause for vhs or laserdisc as records are much less sturdy than these, but it is something to keep in mind/consider. Maybe if collectors really knew the open stuff would be worth more...
