Nice example that one but it's over priced by £75 or there abouts imo. He doesn't show the console box so I'm guessing "tatty" means in bits. You'd also want to Parcel Motel it looking at the postage to here.

Odd though, that I was one of the first one's here to own one, have it over ten years now, and I've never had any trouble with it! touch wood!

This will be well packaged as best I can for protection but overseas buyers please note, this is a risk and if this gets to you broken I will not accept returns or give refunds! only buy if you accept this risk!

why doesn't he just say UK bidders only then?

Yeah lads, I thought it was overpriced alright, but still, have a burning itch to own one of these...wont be happy till I get one...play it for an hour or two....then put it back on the shelf...ah well...that's life One day I will own one of these babies.

The other nite I actually had a dream that I was at a car boot sale, came across this old lady behind a stall, saw a vectrex with about 20 loose carts, saying she didn't know how much it was worth and I could have it for 10 euro....defo a sign

Still though, the wife is happy with her (my) purchase.

As cool as they are, I honestly rarely ever bothered with mine. In the years I owned it I'd say if I spent any more than a total of an hour or two actually using it, I'd be lying.

The screen is fantastic to look at, & impossible to emulate. But in the end, I rarely bothered using it so sold it on

The Last Bandit

Well I've cut up my Ikea shelf to make it fit so no intention of selling it on !! Really should try to fix it some time (again)...

I absolutely loved mine and did play it quite a lot. Protector is brilliant. Loved Armour attack too.

A flash cart for one is a must.

Feck, going to stop thinking about it now! There are very few things I've broken over the years which I've missed as much as my Veccy. So much in fact that I couldn't buy another one at the risk of going through the heartbreak all over again!

Yeah I was so annoyed when mine crapped out aswell.....Looks like I wont be selling it on anyway so I might give replaceing the caps a go in the future, see if that sorts her out
