    Have things gotten so bad in the EnterNow household that you have to sell the Veccy!!!
    Say it ain't so EnterNow, say it ain't so!

    Ah it just isn't being used at all, & I'm outta space for new stuff that I want like a Famicom - which would be used!

    So yeah, thinking of leaving the Vec-club :(

    I'd say €150 is pretty fair for a decent working Vectrex... reminds me I still need to get the finger out and fix O1s1n's old one.

    Looking briefly on ebay.co.uk, €150 seems in or around the right money. I also have the Vecmulti for it too which would add to the price

    Yeah seems about right, even with a game I'd say. But the Vecmulti would be an extra €80 or more imo.

    /Edit: Nvm about that Paypal question.

    I tend to factor any potential paypal fees into the asking price, on the assumption that I'll have to pay them, and if someone pays by paypal gift it's a bonus.
    you can't force someone to pay by ppg after agreeing a deal, and putting it in the ad puts people off.
    that said about 80-90% of people I've sold to have paid ppg, and anytime they didnt and I got charged the fees it was only on a cheap item, so not worth moaning about, especially when ebay would charge a 10% FVF & possibly listing fees as well.

    Shipping will be the biggest hassle, a local sale would be ideal. Surely someone on here needs a Vectrex ?

    Oh I'd always insist on the buyer paying the fees, if they have a problem with that they're welcome to either pay in cash or retract from the deal :) Its a convenience for the buyer, not me as a seller because you have to wait three days or so to even get the money.

    Not even going to offer postage as an option on this one, they're heavy & fragile so its not worth the risk. Worth driving to collect though ;)

    I'd really like a Vecmulti...
    My Vecflash is very awkward to update.
    I wonder if I have something you'd trade for....

    it's alot to expect someone to drive all the way to Yemen :D

    I assume you're in Dublin though, I might make you an offer on it if you still have it next month.

    Niceness doesn't come into it, I'd just prefer cash. If someone chooses paypal, I'm not gonna loose out for their convenience :)

    Ok, I threw it up on adverts. I'm taking into account the cost of the vecmulti & the fact theres two other carts with it so see what happens

    These multicarts are a lot cheaper than the multivec. I got the lite version a while ago.

    But they're preprogrammed though so you can't change the (72) games on it, although I'm not sure he's missing any good ones though.

    The lite version isn't boxed though. The boxed version is £50 (not sure if that includes postage), the VecMulti shipped anywhere in the world is $85, approx €65. Pretty much the same price range but you're getting a better product in the VecMulti imo.

    More versatile product alright but unfortunately always appears to be sold out. At least the other one is actually on sale.

    Actually, I got an email from Richard a couple of weeks ago, he has some in stock again.
    All you have to do is ask him to email you when he has made a new batch.
    Also, most of the fun of the Vectrex is the steady, though slow, stream of homebrew, with a fixed multicart you can kiss that goodbye.

    My CIB MD collection will be going first. Then N64, Snes, not sure about the Vec. Like yourself, it gets zero use but I'm very fond of it. Curious to see if or for how much yours sells. I have the same setup except I have a second controller with a perfect button 4 and some overlays. :)

    Pretty sure it's all PAL except for CIB Actraiser, Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana on the Snes. Wily Wars will most likely be an ebay jobbie to get a decent whack of dosh. Need to make a definite decision and price stuff first anyway.

    PAL doesn't bother me on the Megadrive, & I would be interested in those Snes titles!

    Wily Wars I'd love, but its outta reach for now
