Seems a little nuts to me.
Now the thing is listed with no reserve, but the reserve price is
$1,500 + shipping, so.....
Currently priced at $CRAZY, may be re-listed at some point in the
future at $RATIONAL.
Was not $1500 a good price for usable computer in the late 1970's,
floppy, printer and more that 16k memory?
Sure. But not today. And certainly not for a dumb-ish terminal, which is what this is.
(text plus graphics, admittedly, but dumb in the sense that the hard work is done at the
host.)

OH wait. I forgot that money is worth less than it was in the mid
1970's. I think we need to remember that old iron does not come for a
song, and good price list is need to get what the true worth of a item
is on the market.
