Help with VIS video information system

[vintagegamecrazy]

Someone please give me some advice on where to find one of these things. Have any of you had any luck finding them on Ebay? They cant be that hard to find! What key word or words do you have to search under to find one of these things on there, or are there just not any VIS on there ever?

HELP HELP HELP!!

I work for RadioShack thats why I really want one of these things, and because we sold these things and they are an obscurity nowadays.

Thanks

Well, if you REALLY want one, here you go:

So happens I purchased mine from these guys about 6 months ago. Good deal but really disappointing system. I don't know WHY I expected more, but I just did. It's comparable to Sega CD, I'd say. Except without any of the cool games.

Hope this helped!

On 9 out of 10 auctions for the hardware end incredibly low. I got mine from ebay for about $15, and made a deal with the seller for a ton of additional software for about another $50. However, I have seen them spike upwards of $70 before. Typical ebay transient price surges, I guess.

Keep checking ebay, and have patience. Search under "video information system" "memorex vis" "tandy vis" and "md-2500". You're bound to get one for cheap.

Before you know it, you'll be rolling in the 286 power, wondering if it was really worth it :)

It really is a pretty dissappinting system...the closest I can find to a good "game" is Manhole. That game isn't fun exactly, just really, really, trippy.
