What do Wii have here? (photo compressed to 300kb)

Wii Remote Plus in colors of Mario characters. They look so cool. Love them!

What stands out on this picture is that the Yoshi version is missing the Wii Remote Jacket (RVL-022). It is not really missing. It just needs a bath (and currently lies in water with mild soap) because… because it stinks. YUCK! Just got the package with the Yoshi remote and it seems the previous owner already gave the rubber thing a bath – but in perfume.

Why? This is the second time I got a used item for my video game collection that stinks like a whole perfumery. The other one being a strategy guide of an SNES game in a big box. Again: Why? Why would anybody use odorous substances on a video game related thing (controller, console, book, optical disc, cartridge)? That makes no sense. What makes this worse: I can't stand things like this. The only smell I want is smelling nothing at all!
People, don't do that! Don't make your stuff stink and sell it afterwards.

Not possible. Can't give it to you – and you know why. If it was possible, I would happily give it to you and your wife. You know that.

Search willhaben.at or similar. If it is like on ebay-kleinanzeigen.de you will find some – but be warned: They are pretty expensive. Searching ebay or amazon was not a good idea (tooooo expensive). Maybe it changed. Just try.

Good luck searching!

60 Euros and a little more...
Missed that comment somehow. That is not proper English but I get what you wanted to say. Seeing such prices is breathtaking (in a negative way).

Yes, these special Wii Remote are insanely expensive and it took me long to find offers that are
a) not that insanely expensive
b) have original packaging and are in perfect condition

Still missing Bowser and Toad. Don't think it's possible to get them at the moment without paying way too much.

Maybe they were trying to mask whatever the remote smelled of before... :tpi:
I won't even speculate what it was :tpi:

@Veho Possible. Happens all the time. People mask bad smells with other substances. Instead of giving their home/car/things a clean… they use some kind of perfume ("air freshener").

The previous owner of my car is a heavy smoker. Instead of not smoking in the car (or cleaning the car from time to time) he used an excessive amount of some vanilla aroma to mask the tobacco stench. Effect: When I got into the car the first time I almost fainted and had to drive with open windows (no, not an exaggeration). It smelled like vanilla mixed with cold tobacco smoke. If I had known before what a stinking vehicle I was about to get I would never have agreed to take it (no, I didn't search for a car – long story).

It took three years for the vanilla to completely disappear. The car mats smelled like somebody poured a liter of concentrated vanilla aroma over them. Leaving the windows open in hot sunny weather did nothing at all to lessen the smell. The only thing that finally helped to get it on a bearable level was washing the car – inside and multiple times. Seats, mats, all the interior parts.
==========

I simply don't want any smells in the air (only exception: cooking food). Even things most people consider to be good smelling – I just don't like it.

…I had to cut these stinking flowers in the front yard today. Grrrr. Why me?

@RedBlueGreen
The usage of that "tpi"-thing by Veho already suggests your interpretation for a questionable usage of a Wii Remote. I deliberately chose to interpret it serious and gave a sensible (and true) answer to this.

My blog is not the EOF and I don't like that kind of humor – if this even qualifies as humor.

*Sigh*

That motor inside the Wii Remote is too weak to be useful for that.

Can we stop this now already? *Yawn* This is booooring.
