I know lots of collectors that take things alllll the way apart because of these urges. Afraid I don't have those urges as much anymore, I have screwed things up by messing with them, taking them apart etc.

Unless you really know what you are doing, a person can always tell you took the bottom off, and although it doesn't hurt the collector value that much, it makes me leery as a collector in buying it (as I wonder if the bottom has thus been replaced).
