I have received some PCGS plastic storage boxes from a generous forum member. 
They are used and have a heavy sticky tape residue which I cannot seem to remove.
I have tried "Goo B Gone" Dawn Dish Soap and even Ammonia with no success. 
Anybody out there have an answer on how to remove this sticky stuff?
Thanks in advance.

The goo gone needs to remain on the adhesive for an extended time. In my experience. Good luck. Peace Roy

Try rubbing them with some margarine and letting it sit for a week. My mom used margarine to get out pine gum and lots of sticky stuff. Like dissolves like, and it won't hurt the plastic.
WD-40 works great for removing adhesive.
Go to the dollar store and buy a cleaner called "Awesome". It really is a great cleaner. It may be solve your situation, but it is only $1 plus tax.

Tried all of the above but they didn't work.
It seem like the sticky tape has become part of the plastic.
Thanks for the suggestions.
