Re: Why is this auction so high?

Prices depend on who's watching at the time, and a lot of other
factors... I would probably say that the current price $120 is near
the top end of what the seller will get.  Maybe as high as $150, but I
don't think much more.  I've definitely seen //c's sell for $80-$120
before, and that was without a printer.

But for this auction, it looks to me like what it has going for it
are:

(1) System seems to be in good condition
(2) Seller has assured good protective packing
(3) Yes, the ImageWriter //c thermal printer is relatively rare to see

It'll probably sell for around $150 if there's any kind of end-game
bidding going on.

Just my thoughts on it!

  Well, it is Vintage!  That makes it so much better of course.  But that is
NOT an Imagewriter printer.  Apple called that printer the Apple Scribe.  It
was a thermal transfer printer.  Did not use special paper like the Apple
Silentype, but it did have a special transfer ribbon.  The printer was not
popular at all, and the print quality really sucked.  And I'd say good luck
finding ribbons for it these days.
