So I scored a LNIB Emerald Juliet. The frames and lenses are perfect, and the rest would be too if it didn't smell like smoke!
Rubbers boiled 4x and much better, but still not ok - easily trashed and replaced, no big deal there, cut my losses and move on...
But the box, and the foam, oh... the foam!
Right now I have the fabric softener sheets cuddled up in a ziplock bag, even wrapped the paperwork, all snuggled and bounced up together, literally. I may move to baking soda in a day or three - I know it could take weeks. Does anyone here have advice other than 'air it out' or 'get your $ back' (I already got a partial refund well worth the frames, lenses and coin - so I am ok $-wise, but would be a shame to trash a box and I can't even bring it in the house, have to leave it in the garage!
