We Are Actively Looking to Buy Vectrex Consoles
1] Visit a PayMore Store
Bring your Vectrex console, game cartridges, overlays, and accessories to a certified PayMore Store near you. Within minutes, you could walk out with cash in hand. No appointments, no shipping a heavy CRT-based console through the mail, and no meeting strangers required.
2] We'll Pay You Cash
Our gaming specialists will evaluate your Vectrex hardware and software on the spot, ensuring you receive the best possible payout for this iconic piece of gaming history.
3] Safe and Easy Transaction
The Vectrex is a rare, fragile console with a built-in CRT monitor. Shipping one is risky and expensive. Selling in person at PayMore means your Vectrex is handled carefully, evaluated properly, and you walk away with cash the same day.
The Best Place to Buy and Sell Vectrex Consoles
The Vectrex is one of the most unique and collectible consoles ever made. Originally released in November 1982 by General Consumer Electronics (later acquired by Milton Bradley), it was the only home console to feature a built-in vector monitor, the same display technology used in popular arcade cabinets of the era like Asteroids, Tempest, and Star Wars. Instead of connecting to a television, the Vectrex displayed razor-sharp vector line graphics on its own 9-inch screen, with translucent plastic overlays providing color and static background art for each game. The console shipped with Mine Storm (a polished Asteroids-style game) built into the hardware, and its library of cartridge games included licensed ports from Cinematronics alongside original titles. Accessories included a 3D Imager headset and a light pen, both of which were ahead of their time. The Vectrex was discontinued in early 1984 due to the video game crash, but its reputation has only grown since. Today, it is one of the most sought-after consoles among serious collectors, and working units with games, overlays, and the original box command impressive prices. If you have a Vectrex in your attic, garage, or closet, bring it to PayMore and see what it is worth.
- Vectrex console (all variants, including GCE and Milton Bradley branded)
- Vectrex game cartridges (all titles)
- Screen overlays for each game
- Vectrex 3D Imager headset and 3D game cartridges
- Vectrex Light Pen
- Vectrex controllers (built-in and detachable)
- Original packaging, manuals, and inserts
- Homebrew cartridges and multicarts
The Vectrex is a premium collector item, and pricing depends heavily on the condition of the built-in monitor (does it display cleanly with good brightness?), the cosmetic state of the console, and what games and accessories are included. Complete-in-box consoles with all original materials can be worth significant money. Rare cartridges like Mine Storm II, the 3D Imager with its game set, and boxed games with overlays in good condition all add value. Our pricing systems reflect current collector market data.

Expert Evaluation You Can Trust
When you sell your Vectrex to PayMore, our specialists carefully power up the unit and test the vector display for brightness, focus, and geometric accuracy. We inspect the controller, test cartridge slots, and check each game you bring in. The Vectrex is a specialized piece of hardware and deserves an informed evaluation, which is exactly what you will get at PayMore.
Get The Most For Your Trade-In
For the best price on your Vectrex, bring everything. A complete Vectrex includes the console with its attached controller, the power cable, and the built-in Mine Storm game (which requires no cartridge). If you have the original box, styrofoam inserts, and documentation, that adds substantial value. Game cartridges should include their corresponding screen overlays, boxes, and manuals whenever possible. The 3D Imager with its accompanying game carts is a particularly collectible accessory. Clean the console exterior gently before your visit, but leave the internals untouched.

Still Have Questions? Read our FAQs
Yes. We buy individual cartridges, overlays, and complete boxed games. Even a single rare cartridge with its overlay can carry solid value.
We still buy Vectrex consoles with screen issues. Dim displays, geometry problems, and other CRT-related quirks are common on hardware this old. While fully functional units with bright, crisp displays bring the highest offers, consoles with screen issues are still valuable to collectors who repair and restore them. Our team will evaluate your unit honestly and make a fair offer.
That is exactly why selling at PayMore makes sense for the Vectrex. With a built-in CRT monitor, the Vectrex is heavy, fragile, and expensive to ship safely. Walking it into a PayMore store eliminates all that risk.
Yes. The Vectrex has an active homebrew community, and many of those cartridges carry value among collectors. Bring in whatever you have and we will evaluate it.
