They show up on ebay semi-regularly. However, terminals in general
are showing up on ebay much less frequently now. I think we're at the
point where terminals are just going to start becoming truly scarce,
despite the fact that they were made in very large quantities in the
70s and 80s.
The "Vintage Computer Museum Services" seller has parts to a 1500
right now. However, the guy keeps changing his ebay account name and
his prices are usually $CRAZY, particularly for terminals. Apparently,
he's taken to turning unsold terminals into a pile of unselling parts
(motherboard, keyboard, video board) after junking the CRT and the
enclosure. I guess that saves you storage space, but the real problem
is that you aske $CRAZY for the terminal and went unsold, not that it
took up a lot of space. If he would just reduce $CRAZY to $REASONABLE,
the stuff would probably sell.
