This auction still smells fishy...Either it's a
ploy to bring prices on
these old things up to insane amounts, or the buyer wanted a boxed VIC20
very very badly.
I would go with very very badly. Check what this Vectrex just went
for.

And if you're interested, compare to other Vectrexs. Even in an
unopened box, it went for an insane amount.
Well, at least these kinds of auctions won't affect the market long-term.
Once all the people with lots of cash spend it all on stuff like this, the
prices will start to drop back down where they should be.
Yeah, but by then all the cool stuff will be gone!
