The price seems high to me also, but if someone is willing to pay for it. The tape drive will almost certainly need work.
That said, I did write a terminal program for a 9825T in college, but it was only usable because I had a 9871A printer on which to display the output. It was a pain to use, but better than waiting for a terminal in the university's computer center.
Videos are nice, but I still like to make a kind of "scrap book" of events
I've been to. Link is below.
Also, most exhibitors were occupied interacting with the public and maybe
didn't get a chance to see what else was presented at this VCF. Or, maybe
they didn't get to see what all else the museum and local area had to
present - so seeing photos might give them ideas of things to check out
next time.
Or, in general, for anyone not able to attend, here are some photos also.

I have a sgi tezro for sale. My last sgi machine, i used to have crimson
and onyx2 desksides.
The front plastic is a little torn. It has a dallas battery problem. I
recall getting it to boot by manually typing in the boot info, but it may
require soldering to fix the battery.
Open to offers. My last sgi machine, i think it's time for me to let it go.
As I clean up more, I might be able to find the console cable and see if it
still boots, but I'm unsure what its operating condition is as it sits.
Located in FL.

45 years ago this month Intel revealed the 8086 processor which became x86
technology that formed the backbone of PC technology. The 8-bit era came to
an end about 7 years later. For classic computing a new era began.
Happy computing.

This place may be of interest. Most of the stuff they have for sale probably isn't of much interest here, but there are a few gems. The link takes you to one, which is how I found it.

On April 3, 1973 the first wireless phone call was made and Moore’s Law has
now led to the smart-phone being ubiquitous to our lives: Computer
technology and cell phone technology marching hand-in-hand.
Happy computing and talking about it!
