Purchased a nice southern island set on eBay sealed. Below Is the eBay listing, and what I received.

Wanted to keep them sealed 
I bought a couple dozen sets of these about two years ago, many of which had the same pricing stickers. They’re actually relatively easy to take off with a little care and some goo-gone 
I thought so too, but these are giving me some trouble… it’s a goopy sticky mess. I might just cut my losses and open them… or keep the others sealed and let someone else deal with it.
If you apply the right cleaning agent (not sure the name of the right one) and let it soak in for 5 minutes it will allow you to pull it off in one piece if you get it started correctly at one corner/side. You just apply a little bit with a q-tip. Only enough to saturate the sticker.
Try a stronger compound like Isopropyl alcohol (any percent). Hand sanitizer will work as well. Remove the top layer of the sticker so the solvent can penetrate into to the adhesive.
Thanks dudes, I’ll give it a shot this weekend.
I actually like old price stickers on sealed product, you know they were probably on the shelf or in a physical store at some point which adds to the nostalgia

Did I tell you that at some point in the past? I always liked price stickers for that same reason lol.

I don’t think so, but its so true! minty product that never made it to an actual store just doesn’t have the same energy emanating from it haha!

Bingo:)
I’d normally agree with you guys; this situation was a little different since the seller revealed upon inquiry that the stickers were added by himself before shipment. So they aren’t of any authentic value to me, and they weren’t described as such in the original photos. Either way, I’ve cooled down and have removed a couple stickers successfully thanks to some of the advice mentioned earlier in the thread. Thanks guys and gals.
