i'd guess that's the price without the keyboard, which probably costs $3000.

seriously, the keyboard of my vt220 just died, and when i called
DEC they told me that if i bring them the broken one and pay 
THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS (aprox) i'll get a new keyboard!!
considering that i can buy a brand new complete vt320 clone for about $50
more, that's what i call a RIPOFF. given that i wouldn't buy
a ball pen from DEC, since it'll probably cost $50 to replace that
ink thing inside.
