What thermal printer?  It has an Imagewriter bundled with it...a 9-pin
dot-matrix printer.

People who don't know better are what's responsible for the high price.  It
also doesn't hurt that the description uses "vintage" three times to
describe what sounds like a fairly ordinary system--probably just 128K, the
9" "ET" monitor, and the printer, with no goodies like extra memory or a
hard drive (I could see one of Chinook's SmartPort hard drives getting bid
up fairly high all by itself).
