I'm really getting to like the local new used game store

All resurfacing is usually enough to make me not go. I can understand if the game isnt working to do it, but Ive seen enough working games get "fixed" with the resurfacing devices in my time. Windows disc especially like the devices...

I've heard lots of bad things about resurfacing discs too. If something's broken - sure, why not give it a shot but otherwise I'd leave it well alone.

There's a store called Vidiots. I actually have a bit of a problem with them. They buy games and sell them but when you sell them your games they pay half what they sell them for.

thats pretty much the standard for used game resellers. these businesses have alot of overhead that has to be paid for rent, employee wages, power, etc. plus they get burned fairly often by people selling them busted consoles/carts/controllers

One thing they do have that I'm considering buying is a Vectrex. Unfortunately they don't have any games for it.

the vextrex does have the game mine storm built into it. mine storm is a asteroids clone and actually pretty fun

what is the shop asking for the vextrex? they go for $70 - $100 on ebay, but with a built in monitor, shipping can be a real killer.
is the controller working well? replacement controllers are pretty expensive on ebay $40+

I love the vectrex, awesome homebrew scene, legal multicarts of the original commercial releases are common, and an unmatched home console experience.
