Why did the Tac-Scan only sell for $250?

this was a completed auction last week, and the machine seemed to work.
i was expecting at least 800 on that game. why so low? the monitor
should be worth more. Harry

Tac Scan's have *never* been a high ticket item. To get one working for
$400 hasn't been a challenge for several years. $250 is still a good
deal, but for Sega Color Vector its been the cheap one.

Location for one. Who wants to pay palleting and shipping for a water
damaged Tac-Scan. I nice one would go for $800. He would have got much more
parting it out, IMO.
Very under rated game, As I have one myself.

Troy,

Same here, but before I buy one does anyone know how much owning a Sega
vector causes your fire insurance to go up??

even at the auctions during the peak of collecting they didn't get that
much.
$75 for a non working one. i think this happened twice in dallas.
game is fun, but the cab is butt ugly

I guess location has something to do with it.
I have seen non-working ones at L.A. auctions go for $300 minimum.
Prices do seem higher on the west coast.
I don't think the cabinets look that bad. There are worse ones out there.
I would say Xenophobe for one, Generic Taito's are no beauties IMO.
