    You think for an 800 dollar BIN they could have more pictures

    I agree, there needs to be alot more photos. Also what is up with the borken english in the description. That is a pretty crap description, I don't even know really what it is. From the photo it looks like a cabinet to store your game systems, but that is a super small monitor.

    Poor photo + Poor description = reserve not met!

    Umm do you know what a vectrex is? That is an actual vectrex unit up there. That glass case was to display games. Its a store display.

    Lol, that confused me too. But for 800 bucks and a poor description, I do not think it is anywhere near worth it. Would be cool to have, but not even at the unmet 500 dollar reserve price.

    Gee....

    I was just stating that for 800 dollars , if I were a Vetrex collector I would want a little more. Lets say this was a Nintendo store display...... I would want pictures of different angles showing all of its glory :P

    Dude.... I am 30 I know what a Vetrex is

    I have seen complete unopen vectrex display cases sell for around $800 on ebay, but this unit is way overpriced. Plus you have to arrange to ship the damn thing that will easily add another $200 to the cost most likely.

    Actually, this guy will never sell that Vectrex display. He's been relisting the thing for months now because no one breaks his absurd reserve or bites on that buy-it-now price. I know that at least both Chad and myself from here have offered the guy several hundred dollars for the thing *and* offered to pick it up ourselves, yet he's said "no" every single time. In fact, he's said "no" in a pretty rude manner each time, as well. Not worth bothering. He'll have the thing forever.

    If CGE wasn't so close, and he wasn't asking so much I would probably go for it.
