*** UPDATE: Found one, thank you

Hi all,

Looking for a Vectrex console in nice condition and possibly a couple of complete games to go with it.


Been watching eBay closely since the summer looking for one. I was considering one as a B-Day gift to myself, but it looks like the eBay prices spiked majorly this month. Not sure if it's because of the holidays or because the iOS app just came out. Either way, seems like bad timing. I would rather buy from you fine people anyways. Anyone have one to sell?

Please PM me with what you have & prices (shipped to 49417)

Thanks in advance!

I could put together a vectrex with almost all the released carts and sell that to you, but some of the carts are rare and it adds up. I would recommend just buying the game unit, a spare controller and a multicart. Maybe consider buying repro gel overlays. I have seen them for sale on ebay. I think in the UK.

Found a console, thanks.

I agree with you, a lot of the game prices are crazy. Complete Pole Positions are going for $100 + on eBay. I don't plan to have a complete collection, simply because of the cost, but I would like to eventually get 5-10 complete games.

cool! Its an amazing system!

1: grab a multicart. either sean kelly or one from the uk. I though there was a usb upgrable cart, but I can't find it. multicart will probably cost your what 3 or 4 games will.

2: look for a 2nd controller. The originals can break(not snapping back to center). People have made after market controllers in the past. I have some adapters to use sega genesis controls.

3: look into rebuilding the monitor in it. Bob roberts sells a kit. Also look into shielding the audio cable as you can get speker hum.

4: after you get the games, look into getting the screen gels. Your missing out on quite a bit without the gels.

5: 3d imager should be a pass. Its way to expensive ($500+) for what it adds.

6: light pen. I would say pass too. Not that expensive, but it does not add that much either.
