Re: (OT) Where to go for 70s IBM hardware? I'm looking for a terminal.


 

Actually $1200 is completely reasonable IMO. I sold mine for almost that
much 15 years ago and i've seen at least one that sold for almost double
that. Like the prices or not but the really unique and/or first of it's
kind vintage computers are bringing serious money. Even good, clean and
complete Commodore 64s and the Radio Shack computers are bringing hundreds
of dollars and they were sold by the millions.

Those prices are not reasonable, and the sellers do not accept offers,
contrary to what's advertised on eBay.

A quick look at ePay reveals 3 IBM 5110s, and two 5120s all asking in
excess of $1200 (all but one are OBO, so you might be able to get a
discount). Shipping on these things is going to be bear, however. There
are
lots of watchers on each one.

The 5120 is especially interesting looking, with a larger display, two
vertically mounted 8 inch floppies, and a generally "rounder" look to the
case: the thing just screams 1975. If I had any interest in these
machines
I might be tempted to pick one up.
