Andre81 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I bought a few 2600 games from "jnovo79" and they stink like hell! I removed the shrinkwrap from them and the boxes stink horribly. Not a moldy smell, but a pungent chemical odor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennybrooks Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 How could the seller know what games smell like under the shrinkwrap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre81 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 How could the seller know what games smell like under the shrinkwrap? The shrinkwrap smells nasty too. The games are old stock from a Venture store and they shrinkwrapped the games back then. So I've removed the shrinkwrap to let the boxes vent and it's nasty. The shrinkwrap stinks, the boxes stink. Everything that got in touch with the games smells nasty. In 10 years of collecting I never got anything so nasty. I don't know if it will ever be possible to get the smell out of the boxes, but if it will take many weeks and months. It smells like inhaling glue!

Andre81 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Btw., I put the shrinkwrap into the garbage and you can smell it from 5 feet away. I don't know how plastic can smell so nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icemanxp300 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I have a n64 storage case I want to sell but it stinks so bad I would be embarrassed to sell it. I have it outside now for past 3 days. I have bleached it, febreezed it, Lysol wiped it, and still didn't go away. It has been rained on good past two days. Today I smelled it and it seemed ok but I will have to wait till it dries out to know for sure. This has a very nasty basement funk smell. Like cardboard gets after it has been in basement for years surrounded by drywall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a serious note, vinegar can work wonders getting nasty odors out of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanxp300 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Its not all plastic though. The plastic portions are fine. The inside is like particle board material. It's starting to split apart from all the rain anyhow. I may just build a new case for it or just sell inside tray by itself. The outer case is just a case no biggie the inside piece is what matters and has the N64 Logo on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icemanxp300 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Sounds like it could be mold? I think it is mold. I'm just going to chuck it. Garbage is garbage. I have a hard time tossing video game stuff but every now and then I make exceptions. It's been outside this whole time lol. The casing is shot and the stickers are peeling off the plastic tray, I should have brought that in but it's just clutter I don't need.
