None of the pictures showed up here...the ad filter blocked them (they're
served up by ebayimg.com, but I have yimg.com (Yahoo's ad server) blocked,
and that was causing a match).  I was going by the written description,
which said "Imagewriter."

Even if the printer really is a Scribe (looks like it, now that the images
are unblocked) and not an Imagewriter, that still wouldn't explain the high
price.  Yes, Scribes are rare...but there's a reason they're rare. :-)
