Jonah Bones Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) I have noticed that Vectrex seems to have become a bit of a thing, then I realise it has been nearly 40 years since I delivered a lot of local newspapers to purchase one. In that time the newspaper became worthless and the vectrex unique :) Anyway ironically I have two: Unit 1 : found item, original box, excellent condition $650 ono Unit 2 : this is the hard sentimental one. Represents early teenage me, has not been used in 20 odd years, comes with original box and a selection of games, which I will list with pictures. This is a spur of the moment decision brought about by the situation in Vic to offer it to someone who will use and enjoy it. Reserve will be $1150 ono.

Jonah Bones Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 World has spun and changed a bit, remember the shop I purchased the 2nd unit from. In a strip of shops just down the road was a little electronics store, racks of components, shelves of parts, TV and radio repairs. I saw the Vectrex while browsing with Dad one Saturday morning after picking the papers from the newsagent, bread and custard tarts from the bakery. The big selling point was it would not interfere with Dad's TV viewing and the new AWA Thorn (made in Australia) colour TV, the first colour TV we had owned lol. Memories indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini2544 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I sold mine with all games & an extra controller this year & I got $1,800 in total regardless of people on here saying I'd be lucky to make a $1,000 so grab a bargain. Photo is of the last person to play it before I sold it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
