WTS: IBM 3278 terminal with keyboard

Hello everybody.

I would like to make some room so I am putting my IBM 3278 terminal with keyboard up for sale.

It needs to be cleaned but it powers on and it displays green test screen.

I would like to get 2200 1800 1400 1200 euros and I am hoping for local collection (Ljubljana, Slovenia) because I want the seller to test it and I don't want it to become damaged during shipping.

Thank you for checking out my listing.

Beware. We are the ruthless, immoral and depraved people you may have been warned about who are only after the keyboard!

Wait, how so? :D
Ditching the laptop and going for ye olde IBM terminal instead?

I have an IBM 5251 terminal, maybe I should do the same. Who needs graphics?

You’d still need the laptop to serve the terminal anyway, I’m guessing. :P

Just the board lol. Though I wouldn't dare seperate the terminal and board if shipping allowed :) I say this knowing full well I will never get one of these

I sense a huge, smashy drop lies ahead for that terminal. The better the money, the guiltier!

Dammit, I just passed through Ljubljana. Beautiful city! Would have loved to stop by for a short visit, even if I didn't end up taking her home.

You passed within a mile or two of a beamspring and yet you did not detect it with your Beamdar? Your Beamy sense didn’t tingle? You didn’t start to mentally drift in the direction of those springs? You didn’t have a compelling outer beamy experience?

Are you feeling okay? Lack of sleep or maybe bent antennae?

Well, this terminal and keyboard are well hidden and protected by aluminum foil so nobody can "beam them up" ;) No wonder jack's senses were not tingling when he was passing by.

I've been away for a while. Keyboard has been sold separately, terminal has been donated to local museum. Thank you.

That's probably a good shout - had I the budget or the location for it, I would've loved to have bought it, but it'll be a great education piece
