A blow dryer might work, just be careful with how hot you get it, some blow dryers on their hot setting could end up softening the tape as well as the glue. For me it wouldn't be that big a deal, if I buy an accessory it is to use it, not buying it for its collectible value. I also wonder if 30% of the price will be in having the original box if the item in question is not particularly distinguished, if you buy an operating accessory in decent but not pristine shape and it isn't particularly rare, I suspect those buying it are buying it to use it, not as a collectible (in other words, how angry I would be in my view is if the item is particularly a collectible as versus something people want to use). Me, I would be like some others said, I would slit it open, take it out and use it (play with it), I don't buy things as a collectible or assume it will be at some point, odds are that the stuff I buy won't and quite frankly I likely wouldn't live to see it become collectible if it were
