So I got another Saturn

[Metal_Sonic]

My previous one is dead due to a modding mishap and I had bought a Saturn on eBay like 3 weeks before. The seller was taking his/her sweet time and I was planning to get a refund but lo and behold the day my current Saturn had died, this one comes in from the mail that day. All nice till I saw the box. It was written in big words "FRAGILE" but the box had a big dent on a corner. Then I pick up the box and I smell a small funk. I open it up and like a punch, I smell cigarettes. UGH! man I hated that smell. Well now the Saturn has had some time to air out and I am now the proud owner of a Model 1 Saturn, a slim controller, and a 3D controller.

That bugs the hell out of me, I had a Dragon 32 that right up until the day I sold it kept the smell of cigarette smoke from the previous owner.

Nice purchase though

Cigarette smoke smells awesome, you are all pussies.

But there is a difference between the smell of cigarette smoke and the smell it leaves on items/clothes etc.

There are ways to get rid of it, just google "how to get rid of cigarette smells in books", it generally works on other items too

My sense of smell is crap anyway. Now the only way for me to smell the cigarette smoke is to stick my nose right on the controllers and system.

Cigarette smoke actually gives me headaches. Nasty stuff. I think it should be a requirement to write "I SMOKE!" in every eBay posting if you're a smoker.

I have exactly the same problem, when I used to live in university halls I was unlucky enough to be in the room next to someone who produced more foul smoke than the midlands did during the industrial revolution.
