You guys seem like you would know, where do I go to find the original prices of stuff like a VT100 terminal? |

Is there a website that collects such information, or do I have to go trawling through old magazines and catalogs? |

I'd say you'll probably have to do some research |

Oh wait, I think I get it actually. He thinks there's a rule against grabbing sites that don't have a 'we're shutting down' message. |

there's craptons of those on IA, but unfortunately if you need to search through them, you'll have to search on Google for the magazine |

SketchCow can help you get started- I'll just tell you what I did. I just typed in all of the table of contents into the same template, same style across each issue of a magazine |

one table of contents per file, one (massive) line per file. See this issue of Big-K magazine for an example: https://archive.org/details/01-big-k-magazine |

I used Kate to write up the metadata- maybe a little heavy, but since I was already using KDE, it didn't bother me much |
