Removing a sticky substance

Arminas

So I just bought a couple of used games from Babbages (Kirby's Canvas Curse, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Fire Emblem). Only, the boxes and actual GBA cartridges have that horrendous "USED" and price sticker on them. Now that I own them, I want to remove them, but the last time I did that... I was left with a terrible sticky residue that I could not remove.

Does anyone from H/A have any advice on removing these stickers properly so that I don't have to deal with gluey gloppy remains?

My sister joined this Melaleuca stuff a while back. It sounded like a Pyramid scheme at first, but amazingly, its not. They're a member of the BBB and other non-pyramid organizations. Theyre legit.

Sol U mel works amazingly

Ive used it to clean off sticker residue, my sister used it at her Church's daycare she worked at. The manager asked her how strong it was, she said, "It could clean sharpie off of this desk without messing it up"

At that point, the Manger, who was angry at the Pastor, wrote, 'PASTOR SUCKS' on the desk in big letters. As he was walking down the hall.

Sol-u-mel and a paper towell had it off before he walked in the room.

You can use nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, or cooking oil. Just let it sit for a while and wipe it off with a paper towel.

Apparently you can also rub it with an eraser.

I'm not too familiar with Sol U mel... so I think I'll try an eraser first ^_^

Though, cooking oil? O.o As for nail polish remover, I'm a little wary of it since it's acetone and might eat my cartridges

I forgot to mention that I tried rubbing alcohol in the past and it only works so-so.

But thanks for all the suggestions! I'll let you guys know what worked best.

It's sad how much this has to be used on electronics(new and used).

i'd personally go with the alcohol on anything electronic-like. try to get the 90% rubbing alcohol.
