Vectrex System
I was looking around on Craiglist when I saw some ad about a Vectrex System for $50.
AD-
I'm selling this old video game system. I got it from my uncle, it was
at my grandmother's house. I used to play it when I was a kid, only one
other game worked though. My copy of Scramble doesn't work now though,
basement got flooded, vectrex didnt get hurt. The volume and contrast
still work, the game plays, but the controller needs a metal tip for
the joy stick, and the screw is slightly bent. You could probably put a
new one on or whatever you want on it(guitar switch tip?). A new
controller costs 25 bucks on ebay. This is about the cheapest you'll
ever find a Vectrex in working order. Even on ebay. Just needs a new
joystick tip and go get a multi game cartridge for 20 bucks and you
have all the vectrex games (i think).
Ive never seen one of these before, is it a good deal?

Controllers are very hard to come by and can be quite expensive, but you can use a regular Genesis controller for most (all?) games. Also, a Shawn Kelly Multi-cart will cost at least $75, not sure where he got his numbers from.
See if you can barter a bit, it's worth messing around with.
