yea, definitely rarer these days. For those who are curious, the IBM P260 seems to be very similar, if not identical to the P275, other than supporting a bit less bandwidth. ANd P275 is a rebranded CPD G520.
Hard to find a reliable souce for what the rebrand of the P260 is. I dug up an old forum post claiming it to be the Sony CPD-G500, but those specs don't match up (the G500 has 0.23 mm pixel pitch, while G520 has 0.24 mm).
A lot of visual cognition labs used the G520, and I know for a fact that some of them are being used in 2019 (you can do a google scholar search to verify this).
So there may be a few pulses of these tubes for a while to come, hard to say more than that though without more info.
So I'm not sure whether the price for the P260 is exorbitant or not. I'd say that if it were in very good condition, it could be rare enough to be a justified price, but again, who knows what these labs will sell em for during any such pulses.
