Far to high a price. It is an IBM Selectric electromechanical typewriter
attached to magnetic card read/writer for storage. Proprietary IBM chips.

A few years ago I found some cards for this, scanned
and posted them, and then asked the list what they
were. They were identified as being for the Magcard.
The scans are still up at

g if anyone's interested. They are the same profile as
80 column punch cards, but made of magnetic media.
