I don't know if it's quite the same there, but here, I just go to the nearest hamfest. There's usually lots of terminals for sale. I've gotten vt220's for 15 bucks, and from what I've seen, I could do it easily again. I might pay a little more or less, but I bought 6 terminals once for 25 bucks, and 4 of 5 worked. Try that, maybe your experience would be like mine ... but pick the biggest of the hamfests, they're pretty common, but you want to go to the biggest ones to get a fair chance at a deal.
