That's how I ended up with a TP-10 thermal printer. It hitched a ride along with a pair of  DSDD full-height drives in external enclosures, and a cassette cable. The drives and cassette cables were what I actually wanted. One of the drive enclosures also came with a free one-time-only light and sound show when I flipped the power switch... that was exciting!

Considering the weird thermal paper size that the TP-10 uses, I don't know whether I should put it back up on eBay or just store it in that big green metal box out by my gate. That box must be bottomless, because I put more stuff in it every week.
