The price seems high to me also, but if someone is willing to pay for it. The tape drive
will almost certainly need work.
That said, I did write a terminal program for a 9825T in college, but it was only usable
because I had a 9871A printer on which to display the output. It was a pain to use, but
better than waiting for a terminal in the university's computer center.

good condition is certainly the sort of thing that commands a price at
the high end of the range.
It's not like we're talking about a barn find covered in pidgeon poop.
