This eBay bid on a Fidelity Elite A/S was totally insane

Speaking of Printers
Personally i always favored the Thermal Printer over the Impact Printer
the base was made of Solid Walnut( Wood) and it operated much more quietly
in addition there was no Ink Ribbon Cartridge to run dry like in the Impact Printer
Of Course you needed to have Thermal Printing paper...

Here are some differences between the two printers i have noticed...
Thermal Printer(Model FP)
Length-91/8"
Width-61/4"
Height-33/4"
Thermal Printing Paper
Base-Solid Walnut Wood
Operated virtually silently
Printing Output-moves,position diagram,full game score
Algebraic or Figurine Algebraic notation,current level of play
total time taken for both sides

Impact Printer(Model IFP)
Length-4"
Width-41/2"
Height-2"

Ink Printing Cartridge
All Plastic Construction
Operated quite loud and noisy
Printing Output-moves and time for each move,position diagram,full game score
Algebraic or Figurine Algebraic notation in either large print(double height) or small print(normal height),current level of play
total time taken for both sides

i notice another printer option for the Impact Printer when used only with the EAG
Print out of computers principle variation,number of nodes per second searched,search depth and position score

All the news thats fit to Print Regards
Steve
