So I recently purchased a boxed HI-VAL WAVE 96 sound card.

It is really an Aztech Waverider Platinum 3D.

The card itself looks brand new. Not even a mark on the bracket where the screw would have held it in.

All software/manuals/papers were also included.

The inner-most cardboard tray is fine as well.

The problem is with the outer box/sleeve and the inner box. Both have been damaged by liquid of some sort (I am guessing an animal peed on the box) and therefore smell.

I already tried spraying the inner-box with some lavender spray and letting it hang outside in the sun on a cloths line for a few days and while the smell has lessened, it is still there a little bit.

The outer box/sleeve really smells and not sure I want to try the same method as it will most likely completely ruin it.. but it is either that or throw it away after scanning it.

What would you do?
