Price stickers on CE's

[HIPPEEDUDE]

Personally i hate the fact theres a damn sticker on whatever. Its usually stuck in a horrible place that blocks some of the nice artwork on the front. I just bought a Halo 4 CE guide book,still sealed with a price sticker on it. Not a problem,remove the sticker,easy enough...not. For some stupid reason they put the price sticker on the guide then covered the whole bloody thing in sticky tape,so i had to carefully remove all the sticky tape before i even could remove the price tag. Then i find it was a foil backed price tag,so theres still a small amount of silver residue i can never remove,pain in bum. I also have a AC Brotherhood CE tin still sealed with a price tag stuck on it that can never be removed,why you ask. The idiots priced the damn thing on the tin then re-sealed it in plastic wrap again so the only way to remove it is to remove the plastic wrap from the whole tin. Its not a small price tag either,it sticks out like a sore thumb.
Value wise,i dont think it makes a difference if the price tag is still on it,so remove carefully if you can is my motto.

To help get stickers off you can gently heat them first, I have had to resort to sticky stuff remover (orange smelling spray) to remove stubborn bits (applied to cotton bud then cleaned with alcohol based cleaner after)

Can't live with price stickers!

Gently heat them?? ,Ummm...wouldnt that melt the flimsy plastic wrap on some things,lol. Bottle of isopropyl alcohol does work for some though as you say

Lol, I meant gently with a hair dryer so you have complete control of the heat applied...heat loosens the glue and makes stickers much easier to remove

Tell me about it, I can't stand them either. I've got two Max Pane 3 Special Editions, both plastered with price and sale stickers, plus one of them has had the top taped down with security tape which I'll never be able to remove without damaging the box which really annoys me.

I'm going to head to the shops and grab myself a can of that first thing tomorrow morning and see what I can do. Thanks for the heads up.
