Cigarette Smoke Smell
TDIRunner:
I made a small pickup today for a Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance in two colors I didn't have, plus a few games. When I got home I noticed that everything smells like cigarette smoke. I didn't notice when I bought everything because we made the trade outside. I'm pretty disappointed, and I'm thinking about calling the guy back.
Before I do, I was just wondering if anyone has had that problem before. If so, were you able to do anything to get the smell out?

I once saw a video that recommended wrapping smoke-damaged games and such in dryer sheets. Apparently it takes the smell away after a little while.

Honestly, when you're buying something used, stuff like that should just always be assumed. That's my opinion anyway.
When I buy used stuff, it usually has a smokey or a musty smell, or rarely some kinda stank that I don't know how to describe.

I agree and I'm not angry with the seller. I just wouldn't have bought it if I had noticed. The only reason I might call him back is because, based on our conversation, the guy would probably give me my money back.

i bet dryer sheets might fix it
