I despise Disc Replay's stickers! they put The price stickers on some of their gameboy and gameboy advance labels....enough to drive me crazy!

^^ can relate on so many levels, but in england here.
youtube may help with that?
i've found using surgical, methylated, or white spirits in sparing amounts with ordinary toilet roll as the rag to rub gently on prints (laminated) get me a cool 90% flawless result.
most adhesives, and marker inks lift away like it's not there, leaving the labels like new. ;D
does depend on the adhesives and ink types the labels are marked with.
naphtha (fractional distillation) oil is also useful, albeit it leaves a little grease, nothing major. (wipe that off in no time)
acetone is a no-go, that shit can even warp plastics, it's designed to dissolve human hair/nails by softening it up.
...
most actual plastics (not laminated labels/prints) can be pretty much approached with a hammer, as that problem mostly is a nail.
for stickers, labels and laminated prints, due care is required. ;D
[edit]
that's the third keyboard misfiring, NOT recognising keystrokes, i'll fold this POS, and get an old AT, ps/2 keyboard with cobble stones for keys.
is it me or have the keys got MUCH smaller, grouped tightly together, made to piss man-hands right off.
need needle-fingers to hit shit without it spazzing out and going like 'jgbmh' just for a single key press. >:(

When you were up there, did you check out Killen's or Recycled Records? Killen's is pretty expensive. I've never bought anything from them before. Recycled Records is cheaper, but they have a very limited selection..... or at least they used to. I haven't been there in years.

I didn't this past time but I have before. I may have bought something once from Killen's but yeah, they are overpriced on 95% of their stuff. I've got some good stuff from Recycled Records but they are closed on Sundays (which is when I was up there). Press Start which is a little down the road in Jacksonville is a really great place to check out though if you are ever in the area.

Cool. I haven't been there. I'm originally from Springfield, and we still have some family there, so I'm up there every once and a while, but I usually don't have time to stop by game stores when I'm there.
