OLD PRICE STICKERS

[jbone79]

just thinking out loud to myself and wondering why almost all the pictures of lures that are still in boxes have the old price stickers on them doesnt anyone take the time to get them off or does it not bother anyone else but me ? i always remove the old price stickers from my stuff .. it really bugs me to leave it on there .. anyone else this pickey or have any other little quirkes that you have with your lures ? JUST THINKING OUT LOUD !!!!

I'm not sure why they don't take them off, but whenever I take the stickers off of the front plastic, a little patch of tape, or sticky stuff stays behind, and I think that's even more annoying.

yes i know what you mean , it does my head in as well, they have to come off, try the steam off the kettle or a little vinegar but if there on the box your stuck with them

Hi jbone,

i go with nathen, some of these are hard to remove; i have used solvent and everything, but the stuff baked in by the sun for a long time is really tough; better than doing damage to the box (which i have done to some very nice ones ... stupid me) i prefer to leave on.

i know other guys who remove, but for me it is quite nice to have them stay; this way you always remember where you bought them (unless you take the time to list all the stuff, price, time and shop where you got them; i have tried several times, but somehow a few always elude me ...)

my little quirk is getting a full dealer box where all rapala dont have any price tag or other signs of so-called shelf wear, and take out one from the middle of the box in absolute perfect condition to put in the collection.

have a nice weekend,
wolfgang

Another thought is to leave them on, this was 20 years from now you wouldn't believe that a Fat Rap only cost 2.99 !

i usually take my thumb nail and rub the worst of the sticker off [ carefully ] and put a little zippo lighter fluid on a rag and PRESTO .. it takes all the sticky stuff off .. then just rub it down with a dry soft cloth.. this also workes on car bumpers and windsheilds with those old stickers .. and it doesnt hurt a thing .. [ dont put it on painted surfaces though ]... i also use a great product to shine my box lids and lures ..[ I KNOW , IVE GOT TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS ] its DURAGLOSS 681 plastic polish .. its for anything plastic that you wanna polish ..it takes out fine scratches .. i use it on all my old skipjack lures and it really brings out alot of the imperfections [ not all ..but most .]. you can use it on your plastic headlight covers and tail lights on your car .. it's good stuff .. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYBODY .,,,, J jbone..

A hair dryer and goo b gone does wonders for stickers.

I hate them things

I wish the stores would just stick them on the back instead right on the plastic cover.

I assume that its so everyone can see the price right away but how hard is it to turn the lure over.
