I'm not willing to pay
that much for one to be honest. As a terminal collector, there's a
lot more I could do for my collection with $2K than spend it on one
terminal. Even rarer terminals than the VT05 don't sell for that much
on ebay.
Well, you "would really like one", but obviously you don't
"really
really really want one".
If I wanted to collect terminals, some that I'd want would be:
CDC Plato IV terminal
IBM 2250 (any model)
IBM 2741
Lear Siegler ADM3 (not 3A)
Sanders Associates (any model, but especially the CRT display models)
SRI NLS terminal
Tektronix 4010, 4012, or 4014
Teleray 1061
Teletype Model 37
Teletype Model 38
