Hi all, I'm currently looking to own an IBM 3278. Prefer US layouts. I am located in the US (northern California). Let me know the board's condition and what price you're looking for. In an ideal world I am looking for $800-1000 USD range, but send me PMs and we can work something out. Thank you :D

Hey, man. Sub-$1000 shipped is unrealistic, unless the condition is poor. If you want one in good condition you're probably gonna have to pay more. The other option is to wait and gamble on eBay. I may have one for sale soon, but it's fully restored and working well. That will add to the price as restoring these things is no small task. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Hi, thanks for the response. As mentioned, in an *ideal* world I'd like one <$1000 shipped but I'm open to consider other prices. I totally understand the effort required to restore these things and would be happy to personally put in the labor and restore one, no matter how filthy it is :)
