Yeah that's the thing, if it's rare and such, they'll do anything they can to get as much profit as they can.

Well, it's really all about its unopened status, I suppose. Same as with the wine bottles.

Add to this how rare item is, and that is what makes it so expensive. [/b][/quote]
Again, the same would apply to wine from the late 18th to early 19th century. Isn't it amazing how much a C64 game and a bottle of Chateau D'Yquem have in common? LOL

There is still difference, as older whine is better, while older game can suck big time.

I don't remember this game to be classic as some other titles from that era.

But still it's not the point in tasting, it's the point in having...

Seeing them open the tin, you mean?:P

You should've seen it - that was some top-quality can-openening action.

corned beef cans can be tricky!

it was quite interesting actually, cos the rations were foil wrapped portions inside the tin.

apparently it tasted ok

[A. J. Raffles]

Ah, so that's what you need to do in order to make tinned beef taste OK. Store it in a war zone and open it after thirty years. Interesting. They might print that on the tins, actually:
Store in a hot damp place. Do not consume before May 2035...
