Seems like we are in a upswing of vintage gear prices.
Some stuff is
going for many time what it would have last year even. I think people
are feeling better about spending money again.
What I see is about the same amount of demand chasing a smaller
supply. It wasn't too long ago you could get a (possibly dirty) VT100
for about $100 and they were listed fairly often. Now they aren't
listed very often at all and are often starting around $150-300.
Obviously, better cosmetic condition fetched a better price, but I'm
seeing the supply of terminals and older SGI equipment pretty much dry
up.
