Seller's location is listed as "Tokyo", so we can safely assume he's
familiar with the comma as the thousands separator. (Is there no
Japanese section of eBay, BTW?)

I seem to remember having heard about the machine, there were many
different 8-bitters of this kind at this time. The Exidy Sorcerer, for
example, might be about the same time frame, maybe slightly later.
Commodore PET is probably better known and also belongs to the late 70s.
If you struggle to collect each and every kind, you may need a Luxor
ABC80 too, but certainly not for that price!
