Any games with it? $40 is a normal price for a Coleco Vision as long as everything works.

There's a million doubts that it works. It has nothing to do with it looking clean. Colecovisions are notoriously unreliable. I had to buy four or five of them to find a working one, and it even acts a bit glitchy. For $50, if it works right away without any maintenance or repairs, it's fairly overpriced. But there's a pretty strong likelihood that it doesn't work, in which case you got hosed.

Looks like ive been lucky I have 8 and all of them have powered on and in working condition. Weird finds at garage sales when people tell me its an atari.
