Vectrex

[Nateo]

Hey, how rare are these things? Just wondering.

I've never seen one in the wild here (florida), but they are pretty regular on eBay. I got 2 for $20.00.

 

EDIT: They sell for more than $20 regularly - I was just bragging.

I've only seen one in the wild and the guy wanted $120 for it with 7 games i think

 

this was at the flatrock speedway flea market for those that live in my area

I've never seen one in the wild either. On eBay they typically go for closer to $100. To get the best deal there look for the ones that come with good stuff, like an extra joystick or lightpen, or some of the rarer games like Poll Position.

 

I really like the Vectrex because there is just something about the sharp, high contrast screen and smooth movements that can't be emulated. And some of the games are really good. My favorites include Solar Quest, Bedlam and Scramble. Ripoff is fun but a bit frustrating when it gets harder.

 

The 3D glasses are insanely cool but there's only 3 games for them, and they will set you back quite a bit. But the 3D games are actually in color.

 

I'm actually getting my extra one ready to sell on eBay with a bunch of games. Look for me...

That's true. I was just bragging about my eBay successes.

 

I only have one game, so if any one is trading, let me know.

 

(I sold my second system for $120.00.)

What do you have to trade? I pretty much have everything for the Vectrex, 7800, Jaguar and Lynx but I'm still collecting other systems.

 

I have 20 or so extra Vectrex games right now, i.e. most of them.
