stringfellow Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 I am just curious, if I should decide to sell in the future what would be a realistic value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing Lazers Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Lucky b@stard! Great find, my congrats to you! Anyways, the games you have are all the common ones, but they can go for $25-35 each, depending on condition, completeness, and buyer interest. A working system can go for $150-$175 easily. I noticed some of your games have the Milton Bradley logos on them- do they all or do only some? Did you get them from another collector or from an original owner? You should keep them, though. Vectrex stuff is only going to increase in price, and deals like yours are VERY rare nowadays. Of the one's you have Scramble, Cosmic Chasm, and Armor Attack are my favorites, though all are highly enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 That's an awesome deal. I see working Vectrex's without any games going for 200+ on eBay all the time. I saw a vectrex with 8 games in very good condition with two controllers go for $560 on eBay a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Is it made in Hong Kong or Taiwan? Is it a Canadian model? (My 2nd Vectrex is a 1983 Canadian model. The boot screen does not have "Entertaining New Ideas" at bottom.) The Serial Number on the back can tell you a lot. Ones ending in A are Taiwan. Canadian ones have CA. I think Hong Kong ones hold up a bit better, just my opinion. I had never seen MB branded Canadian Boxes before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringfellow Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 just some of the games are Milton Bradley and the system was made in Hong Kong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 First thing I noticed was they are Canadian games. Great find there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldenWheels Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I'd say great deal since I would have called it a good deal at 200$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Yep, it was a good deal at $200. I paid $200 for a working Veccy with the Kelly multicart a few months back. I thought I was lucky but wish I had more overlays now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yep, definitely a nice deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 If you decide to sell any of your games I would be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
