Is this Sears Video Arcade a good deal?

I saw it this morning.

 

I saw his original listing and thought it would already have been sold. I saw that 2800 systems were going for much more and thought these would be high too. So what kind of deal was it?

Since it sold in 18 minutes, I think that's a pretty good indication of the deal it was.

I have seen bare Video Arcade II's sell for $9 before. I think this deal was ok, not great. The Video Arcade II is much, much more common than the 2800 - probably by a factor of about 1000:1. (Edit: just search the completed listings for "sears video arcade" - you'll find VAII's that have sold for under $2, with extras.)

 

I think I got my VAII for free. I don't remember exactly, but I didn't pay more than $10 for it, I know that much.

 

They're a bit rarer with the box, and I have seen them go for $30 or so if they're boxed.
