I used the IW I quite a bit back in my Apple II days. Those printers were (are) extremely finicky beasts when it comes to paper loading. Print quality was OK, the thing is from the days when Apple was like Mercedes-Benz in terms of quality. But I think the actual usability is low. If you can help it, I recommend putting it in some kind of hermetic vacuum-seal with some dessicants and keep it in your basement (not attic where temperature variations are high) and wait for another 10 years for it to be come really rare.

I have an ImageWriter I with appropriate cabling to attach to the round Apple printer plug, which I am going to put up for sale soon. My question is: what would be a realistic price? Has this unit fallen completely off the "value" table or conversely, has it slipped into the "rare and collector" world? Any info would be appreciated. Don Wakefield DTPetc!
