Congratulations on finding a solution! Sounds like "Goof
Off" is a good product to have on hand.

I couldn't survive without it. At the risk of further annoying Mary, I
also do not like the stickly residue that many price stickers leave on
stuff. Goof Off gets it right off. You do have to be a bit careful. It
will melt the typs of plastic that is used for CD cases and the like
and sadly they are virtually covered in stickers.
There are a number of similar products, such as Goo Gone, Ooops, and
Gunk (although that one may be more for grease and oil).
Simple Green is also pretty good and safer for most plastics.

LOL! It would take a lot more than that to annoy me :-)

I can't think of an instance when I'd want to do remove a price sticker -
not that there are many in these days of bar codes and most stickers are
peelable anyway, aren't they?
Life's too short.

Rather than live with the Minnie Pearl look, I remove stickers from
the hard-surfaced items to which they are affixed. Drinkware, lamp
bodies, picture frames and mirrors to name just a few. Goo Gone.
One of my favorite thrifts writes prices using a grease pencil. Again,
Goo Gone.

The only label I will not remove is the one on the Waterford crystal
Tiffany-style lamp; I threw a fit when I had a cleaning woman, in for the
day, tried to remove it. She has not returned, either.
When I pass it to my DGD on her wedding day, she can do as she pleases;
but for now that sticker label stays.
