I've already received some questions asking why I split up the auction.


My rationale:


I considered selling the items together, but decided against that for a couple of reasons:


1 - I've never had a 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.  I feel that shipping the Vectrex box empty (or near-empty) inside a bigger shipping box will ensure that the Vectrex box is quite safe during shipping.  Further, I've shipped & received several "naked" Vectrexes & 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(s) he wants & if he wins more than 1, I'll be accommodating & put them together & price the shipping accordingly.


Thanks,

-Jason


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.

How many Vectrex's do you have??  I thought you got rid of this a while ago...

Hi.

My name is Jason.

I'm a Vectrexaholic.


Hi, Jason.



I can't pass up a Vectrex on craigslist or a Vectrex on eBay that looks like one I can repair & sell.  I also sometimes buy parts/lots/accessories & compare their condition against those of my personal collection & swap into my collection ones of better condition & then resell the remainder.

A few weeks ago, I did just sell a Vectrex that needed serious repair (the controller was fubar).  This Vectrex was a recent craigslist find.


Thanks,

Heh, I totally get that.  I am too.  Having shipped many Vectrexes, though, I can say with experience that you can ship a Vectrex in the box when properly packed.  And it doesn't take any more skill than shipping anything else does.

Vectrex box/styrofoam & Vectrex controller auctions end today.  Vectrex system auction was ended early.
