Probably not. There are some weird HP264x-like terminals up there:

The details on these lots say that the items originate with Boeing,
but damn if that doesn't look like s 264x keyboard and monitor with a
modified enclosure. It looks like they either replaced the base
enclosure with their own or put some sort of different front on it.
At any rate, they look really weird, making them nice to collect :).
If I bid on them and if I win them, then I would probably not do it
all in one go. I'd probably combine it with a weekend of camping.
