Hey guys/gals, I have a working Vectrex system that has been sitting in my room for the past 20ish years, that i just realized was probably worth some dough. I have 23 games (all of them except berzerk) , about 15 or so are CIB with overlays in sheets in good condition and the manuals. The remaining that aren't CIB are missing a manual or the sheath over the overlay or the plastic housing for the game. Light pen with Art Master and I have Animaction all working. Original Controller in great condiition. Minestorm Overlay in great condition and Minestorm 3D I KNOW i had the 3D imager, I just have no idea where it is. Edit: also have all of the original paperwork that includes 25. Two passport game Catalogues 26. Vectrex Owner’s Club Sign-up Card (not filled out) 27. “Important Reminder” for Minestorm 28. Vectrex Arcade System Owner’s Manual 29. Safety Instructions 30. Vectrex Dust Cover Order Form DO NOT HAVE: 3D imager 2nd controller Heres what im hoping for: 1) some help, lol. i've dug around on here and AA and ebay. and im wondering how i should break this down and sell it to maximize profit 2)Wondering if anyone has any interest in this as a LOT or any particular game individually 3)I really hope someone with a collectors interest wants this. No offense but im trying to help yall out, and avoid grannies getting a game for the kiddos when they visit. Id prefer if the thread could be expanded on, but if not PM's would help as well. I'll throw up pictures later if I generate some interest As far as I can tell, this is the largest collection of vectrex to be sold online that I can find. Help a brother out =)

Welcome... it would help if you said where in the world you are too There were 27 programs released for the Vectrex (discounting the built-in Minestorm), so you're missing four in total then. Which three aside from Berzerk?

Heh, well it is not in my interest at all to 'maximize your profits' as i would be trying to minimize my own expenditure in acquiring your vectrex loot.
That being said, the most valuable games are Polar Rescue, Pole Position and Star Castle. If any of those are complete with box, manual, cart, and overlay in good condition, you ought to separate those and sell individually.
The other games vary in value, but I would keep the rest mostly together for a good lot with the console.
Condition and completeness are a huge factor in the value of any of this stuff. Personally I wouldn't buy any game without the overlay. (I'd be more likely to buy the overlay without the cart).
I'd be interested in Space Wars, Bedlam, Web Wars, Narzod, Melody Master and Lightpen.
I do desire the more valuable games, but am definitely priced out there.

Welcome... it would help if you said where in the world you are too There were 27 programs released for the Vectrex (discounting the built-in Minestorm), so you're missing four in total then. Which three aside from Berzerk? Located right in the Mid-West of the US in northwest arkansas. Second, dont have 3D crazy coaster, 3D Narrow Escape, Melody Master, or...missing the last here. Not minestorm II or any homebrews or Mr. Boston clean sweep. so you got me there. Pole Position, polar rescue, and star castle are all complete in box, with overlays w/o scratches and manuals. None of my games lack the overlay. Even have the minestorm overlay which i hear is kinda rareish. Got a couple PM's too, and can post on AA finally. Ill give it a week, then ebaying the lot. But yall are welcome to pick and choose first. Just pm offers that sound reasonable, since i have no idea how to price. Thanks for the help so far

That's a great collection. Do you not think some time down the line you may regret selling it off? Been there and done that myself a few times over the years with different items.

nah. it's really just been collecting dust for the past 10 years, and if i kept up with it with me now, it'd be in a party college house, which isn't fair.
