There have been a couple on ebay over the last few years. During that
time, IIRC, there has been one VT52. It went for more than the 4010.
VT52's, on the other hand, I've had
opportunities in the past, but in
both ca ses, the seller flaked and dropped communication.
Last time I had a line on a VT52, the seller wanted $900. I want one,
but not that bad. (It doesn't even do graphics!)
And VT100's - I've got a couple. They're
uncommon, but there are
definitely a lot of them out there.
Of course "a lot" is a relative term. There is only a small fraction
out there compared to the production quantity. However, they are
still relatively easy to find compared to a 4010 or a VT52. What is
hard to find is one in good cosmetic condition.
