As far as pulling the games out of underwear to sell them ... I have to try that myself now.

Brown sauce is salvageable, too. I just got a copy of OutRun with some mysterious brown sauce dried onto it. A little rubbing alcohol and a paper towel took it right off.

Anything can clean up well, if you take the time. I would have with the PS1. The $20 spent for another one, could have been spent on a game for the PS1.

I would have taken it outside to do it, though. No need to risk spreading cockroach eggs in your house.

brown sauce is barely salvageable when it burns a hole in the label

Definately, take it outside and you can get rid of a lot using canned air.

... I wouldn't let anything with the sauce touch other things. It's mold. Alcohol may wipe off some stuff, but it won't get rid of everything...

 ;D This has been hillarious!  Here goes the brown sauce again lol.  The brown sauce will never die will it  :)



My ATari 2600 that came in, only had one minny spider web in it and a little dirt.  That was fine.  I took it apart and cleaned till like new.  Same for my Famicom.  Famicom only had a few dust balls in it.  Clean as new.  But the playstation just about made me threw up.  I can't handle it had to get rid of it.  As a kid, we lived in the projects and had roaches everywhere!  Disgusting!  I just cannot go back to that.
