Well interesting story of how I came upon this cart.

A Lady in Creswell Oregon (one of Oregon's many armpit shitholes) had a huge amount of atari 8 bit stuff that I bought last weekend (I find 8 bit stuff in Oregon like malaria finds people in Africa). In that box of 80+ games there was a Sean Kelly Multi-Cart for the Vectrex. this one is Copyright Sean Kelly 2000. Now i would totally keep this sucker if I had a vectrex... but seeing as I don't and probably never will it must find its way to a new home.

This probably goes down as being one of the weirdest finds in the wild for me.

Looking for offers right now. If you PM me with "what do you want for this cart" I will not respond.

When Sean sells these on eBay, I believe he charges $75 BIN plus shipping. However, he sells them so rarely (and at such a low price) that they all get snapped up within moments at that BIN.

But, when those same carts are sold on eBay by other sellers during auction, the prices go as high as $120-$150 or higher. So, the value to Sean is $75, but they can be double that if sent to auction. Easily.

And why no takers? My guess is that everyone with a Vectrex here probably already has one (I know I do) so there just may not be takers. If you don't get anyone snapping it up here, an eBay sale will probably make you pretty happy.

Do they normally come with packaging, or just the cart?

How far is Creswell from Eugene? I remember in the 80's watching some of those lumberjack championship shows on ESPN and the most famous guy was Mel Lentz from Creswell, OR. I've never been there but I think I've seen the sign on I-5. Good luck with your sale!

Creswell is about 10-15 minutes from Eugene. It is actually growing pretty fast, but it wouldn't be my choice of town to live in if I were to move to the area. Honestly... when you drive by again don't stop, it really isn't anything to see.

pm sent -

john if you don't want this let me know.

also would be interested in trading it for some legit unlicensed sealed NES games (legit as in you know the origins of the game).
