A trade occurred this weekend - your opinion valued!

[newkillergenius]

Hey team

First let me say I am a sucker for home console stuff,   especially Nintendo (& vintage stuff), and have a very large collection of NES games and peripherals.

The short of it is, I have several machines, & can kinda use all the real estate I can right now.
I had a Super-Pac that I had cleaned up pretty good and the side and front art were re-stenciled.  There was a nice 19'' VGA CRT monitor installed and I threw in a 60-1 JAMMA board.
Though the cabinet was missing it's original CPO and bezel, it still looked very nice, and worked very well, as I had created an aftermarket bezel and CP that was well made.

A good friend of mine had recently sold a pin, and had two others- and was looking for a multigame machine to put in his home gameroom between the two.  
He knew I might be willing to sell the 60-1 Super Pac and a proposition was made:

He offered a NES ROB full kit with all pieces, gyros, in original box with everything.
Also, a nice working VECTREX machine, with a 50-1 VecFlash card with lots of games.  There was also a little grab bag with about 26 NES games (22 of which I already had), a little carrying case, several black sleeves, an extra game genie, booklets etc.
He wanted to trade straight across for the multigame.  At first I wasn't sure, but as he also owns a print shop, he offered to also print me a new set of Atari System 1 side art and a few instruction cards, which I badly need for my RoadBlasters machine.

So, after all this is said and done, I felt it was worth it to me, and that's really the bottom line, but I got a little scrutiny from friends that come over often, saying that was idiotic on my part.

So I'd like your opinion, and possible price checks on this stuff-- does it seem like a fair trade considering the ROB was complete in box, and the Vectrex is very nice and has the 50-1 cart?
And the printing too?

Tell me what you think.  I'd like to hear your opinion.

It sounds like you did alright. I'm not really sure, but Vectrex's can go far a lot on ebay right?

Meh...  I think you got the short end of the stick...

I bought a nice Vectrex on eBay with 5 carts and overlays for ~$100 shipped.

I was told from a reliable friend that those ROBs complete in box have been seen going for over 250$- 300$; is this true?

[newkillergenius]

Well, you traded him a cabinet worth $50 along with a $75 board so I'd say you did fine.

Kinda how I felt, those Super Pacs are a dime a dozen.  Already have a 60-1 in a Galaga and the VGA monitor had been in the original shipping carton on a shelf for 4 years, so I figured...

Agreed.  You did just fine.

[missioncontrol]

If you are happy, you did fine...

Ditto. I'd rather have what you got in the trade than what you gave up so.....
