Cebus Capucinis Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Some people in here need to watch their tongues to be honest. I am NOT the one selling this. Can you not get that through your thick skull. I wouldnt personally pay $1000 for this but if i wanted all that stuff id consider. I paid $100 for my odyssey, it was missing so much that the seller failed to tell me about. By the time I acquired all the things it was missing i was over $300. Part of me wishes i paid the extra and got the whole thing at once. Ive paid almost $100 in seperate shipping. So once again sometimes you pay a price to get it all at once. So lets grow up and use this space for something that has some meaning. To be honest im getting sick of people accusing me of being anyone but who i am. But it gets old just seeing childish stuff posted here about anyone and their prices. People need to be constructive and not immature children. Here's something constructive and positive: I wish you the best of luck on your $999 Vectrex auction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Did you try getting a refund or making a PayPal claim? If the seller said it was complete, but it wasn't, you should have tried anything possible to fight it. If they never said it was complete, and you saw what it had, then found out it wasn't complete, then of course there's nothing you can do about it. I agree with what you're saying about sometimes just paying more to get better quality, in the cases where you're sure that's what you're getting. I've done the same thing myself, when buying from a reputable source that may be a little higher priced. Some prices though are just flat-out insane, and not worth paying. For example, a $999 Vectrex. But, people shouldn't worry about this so much. Don't buy them, and this problem will take care of itself eventually.

Rev. Rob Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) I think njb12287 might be Dick (i.e. the seller in question). Or, did you just join to defend your auction? That would be sad not just for the obvious, but also because you're doing a crappy job wooing potential customers. Toodles! I have a feeling that's him. He sent me a PM for the Odyssey Game Card #8 that I have listed in the free stuff thread, and referred to it as a "disk." The only other person I've ever seen refer to the game cards as "disks" is the seller in question. That's like referring to a 2600 cart as a disc. It makes no sense. Plus, the level of grammatical skill (read: lack thereof) just about matches Dick, and is waaay off base for a supposed college student. By the by...if it's worth so much, why slap a $999 BIN on it and waste the listing fees? Start it at .99 cents and let it run if it's worth so much no? He said he hates auctions. For the record, I have seen CIB Vextrexes go for quite a bit on eBay, but not even close to $1000. More like in the $300 to $400 range. Edited December 29, 2009 by Rev.

No it didnt say anything about being complete, eBay Auction -- Item Number: 140363840575. Honestly I didnt know much about it at that time and i didnt realize how much it needed. But ive slowly acquired all the peices to it, even the original roll of tape. All i need is a set of the original batteries and it will be CIB And i Completely agree. Thats what im saying. Ive paid around $300 total for my odyssey, love it by the way, and sometimes i wonder if i should have saved the time and bout it for more but all at once. But its been an adventure Edited January 8, 2010 by Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 He also put up a post in the wanted section that he's looking for an Odyssey and games so yea this guy is most likley this seller And no i put up that i want to buy the Six extra games because i cannot afford the ones on ebay. Too much for me. Common guys im not that retarded as to make a fake freaking account to try to mooch things off people here. Please get over it.

The ad says that it's missing the RF, it says it has "several of the overlays", implying that it was missing the others. So, it was your own fault that you bid it up so high because you weren't aware of what was supposed to be there. You ended up getting what you wanted in the end, but you may have paid more than you had to. That's the flip side of what you've been saying.

You can't afford the games on ebay yet you're talking about how a $999 Vectrex system is possibly a good deal. You sure don't make much sense! ....and to top it all off, you can't afford the ones on eBay because some bozo is charging $800 for the games, sort of like a certain person's $999 Vectrex auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im saying to some people its easier and more efficient to go that way. And i know its my fault. Thats why sometimes its better to just do it one time and get everything. Anyway lets stop attacking me for doing nothing. Unless someone has a spare set of the six extra games from 72 and would help me out with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Also at least i got Percepts with my Odyssey so it turned out to be an acceptable price. I now also have a case, AC adaptor, Orignal role of tape, and the shooting gallery. All for under 350 so it turned out okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyo5050 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 The funny thing is this guy won this exact system from an auction from about 3 months ago and is now reselling it. He paid $130 with the games (no light pen), I remember this because of the word "office" written on the top and that he beat me out last minute. I really don't care I found an even better one this month for a great price. I just find it hilarious since the price is so crazy out of whack. LOL!!

Crazy Climber Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 $1,000 Vectrex auctions are great, then when little old ladies put there vectrex for sale on Craigslist they can say "goes on Ebay for $1000!!, mine is only $500!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremysart Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 320464514562 This guy needs to just stop already. Sure it seems like a lot, but a Vectrex is not all that common to begin with, let alone CIB, mint condition, plus the Light Pen CIB (pretty uncommon) plus what looks like quite a few games cib. The asking prices is a little much, and it would be more fair to have a $300/400 starting price and auction it rather than BIN, but I dont think that its outrageous or anything. Now, try to sell me an Odyssey for more than $25 and I'll laugh at ya.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at auction they go around $150 Possibly confusing Odyssey with Odyssey 2 as has been done numerous times in these threads? Maybe? Dunno. But yeah, an O1 complete for $25 would be crazy cheap, an O2 complete for $25 would probably be fairly high unless it was exceptional.
