Lemmi Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 I ws wondering how you guys that collect NES games clean off those millions of stickers that every rental place has stuck on them over the years? the stickes that annoy me the most is the ones that are silver and when you try to pull them off the word VOID still stays on the cart, also now Funcoland is sticking price tags on the labels of there games (cheap lasy ass') and im looking for ideas that dont use Goo Gone (i know its good stuff), im looking for around the house stuff in general, stuff like that My way hurts my fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 I want to know too, I have a couple like that myself. Funcoland's price tags aren't too bad though. Once I got a Metal Gear with a Ninja Turtles sticker over the label. Took me a half hour to pul it off safely. Wonder if Funco still has Ikari Warriors.

ubersaurus Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Sweet. I bought Strider last time I was there, and it was a tough choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgler Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Even easier, just use lighter fluid. Dab a little on the sticker you are trying to remove, let it sit for 5 miutes and voila! no rubbing or elbow grease required most of the time.

MegaManFan Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Of course, some of us don't smoke, nor would we keep something flammable around like lighter fluid if we did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dones Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 and im looking for ideas that dont use Goo Gone (i know its good stuff), im looking for around the house stuff in general, stuff like that Come on man, don't be so cheap. Goo Gone is the best cleaning solution for the job, specially silver "void" labels. Just a couple of drops and with a few wipes the silver goes right off. Besides, the product isn't expensive and one bottle will last you for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avid Fan Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I stand by gasoline and lighter fluid as the best. It even gets rid of those old Blockbuster stickers, and those are like car registration stickers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevincal Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 lol I thought I was the only one who tried to take all the stickers off. What I really hate is when the instructions have been lamenated by a rental place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
