Finally good luck at the flea market

[Pete Rittwage]

There is a flea market I walk through once every two months or so, and unfortunately it's mostly old filthy junk. There is a guy there that sells old consoles and carts, but never has anything interesting or rare.

Well, today that guy had nothing as usual, but it was a nice day so I walked around the rest of the "junk yard". Imagine my suprise when a guy selling a bunch of dirty ancient televisions had a Vectrex set up on the shelf. It was very dirty, but turns on and has two controllers, no games.

For some reason, before I found it I was actually thinking "someday someone is going to have something cool like a Vectrex".

After about an hour of scrubbing, I have a very good looking Vectrex for $12. :)

Heh, sorry. I was unaware of the threads convention here. I've lurked on and off for a while, but get the classic gaming bug once in a while. :)

Geez dude, look at his post count. Why not help show the way instead of beating it into someone?

Anyway, great find.

Well hey, it's the only way somebody's gonna listen to 'ya. I have to deal with all sorts of idiots (no offense to anyone) every day of my life. "Take no prisoners", I say: I could'nt give two sh*ts about no stupid post counts! besides, he gets the message, so there's really no debate about it...

Quite possibly the elitest thing Ive heard all day :/

[Slate]

Awesome find. I would pay the same price for a vectrex that you did.

[Daria]

Congrats to finding the Vectrex, pay christhegamer no heed though. You'll find many of the users on this site are nothing like him. (:

Great attitude; I'm sure you'll go far in life with that. :roll:

Well maybe this might replace my previous statement :/

And Dude I wish I could get a Vectrex for that little dough,
nice find :P

[zektor]

Nice find man. The Vectrex is one system I never owned, but did play alot at a buddy's house. Now you just have to hunt down some games!
