Vectrex Package - Value? Help a noob!

[jcrouse]

I was just turned on to this site. While writing my profile I actually forgot that I bought a Vectrex a few months ago (hence, the noob status). Anyways I come to find that a few of the games are rare. I'm wondering if anyone can attach a value to the package or individual pieces. All the games are boxed with the overlay (in the protector) and the manuals. They are all in very nice condition. Here's what I got.

A Vectrex in original box without the styrafoam.

Games:
Scramble
Armor Attack
Star Trek
Star Castle
Hyperchase
Fortress of Narzod
Berzerk
Spike
Pole Position
Web Wars
Heads Up Action Soccer
Space Wars.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. I only gave a small amount for the package and am beginning to think I god a REALLY good deal. :)

Thanks,
John

PS...a Pole Position just ended on eBAY one minute ago. It was very nice in box with all docs and went for $106.

I know nothing about vectrex, but I think you have your answer right there. It's in the online guide as 60 loose, so a 50% - 100% premium for completes sounds reasonable. Just add up the value of the loose carts per the guide and tack on the premium for completes. That's if you're willing to take the time to sell them individually.

If you want someone to buy the entire lot, you'll have to give them a discount, so you'll probably only get the loose value on the completes if you sell as a set. Again, just a rough guess, but I think it gives you a good range.

It does give a value I just missed it.

Thanks again,

it's there. Just search for the game, click on the details, and look in the top rh corner

Forget the value. You have an excellent Vectrex collection there. Enjoy the heck out of a truly one of a kind system. Time is too short to worry about such things. 8-)



Ok, value is important. LOL

Excellent

My Vectrex and a multicart are sitting next to me on my test bench. There are times when I'm waiting for scan disks or defrags where I can get in a few rounds of All Good Things. :)

p.s. my vectrex was bought brand new in 1985 for $50 in downtown Philadelphia. I walk out of the store with this big box totally forgetting I had parked about 5 blocks away. What a walk..
