On eBay:
1 - Vectrex system: super clean, wonderful condition, tested working perfectly, 3 manuals (no controller)
2 - Controller: clean, great condition, tested working perfectly
3 - Box & 2 styrofoam inserts: clean, great condition

I've already received some questions asking why I split up the items into 3 auctions.
My rationale:
I considered selling the items together but decided against that for a couple of reasons:
1 - I've never had a Vectrex box & styrofoam before & was concerned that shipping the heavy Vectrex in the box & then protecting the box in packing material inside a larger shipipng box might damage the Vectrex box (which is likely worth more than the Vectrex itself, considering its great condition). I feel that shipping the Vectrex box empty (or near-empty, with a bit of anti-crush stuffing inside) inside a bigger shipping box will ensure that the Vectrex box is quite safe during shipping. Further, I've shipped & received several "naked" Vectrex systems & know that a ton of bubble wrap all around them will protect them well--I'm sticking with what I know.
2 - I know lots of collectors will be interested in getting just the controller and/or box without wanting to buy the whole shebang & pay the hefty shipping to ship an unwanted system too. Many people want just a replacement or 2nd controller, & many people would want just the box for their collection. I suppose some others might want a replacement console to replace their broken one, too...
3 - If a bidder wants 2 or all 3 of the items, he can bid on which one he wants & if he wins more than 1, I'll be accommodating & put them together & price the shipping accordingly.
Thanks,

PS--I'm still trying to see if I can get a Minestorm overlay to add to the console auction to make it more complete. If I can get one soon, I'll cancel auctions & relist accordingly.
