Hi. I recently purchased a trs-80 model 3 from the daughter of the late owner in Ontario and she threw in a daisy wheel printer 2 model 26 11-58, as she just wanted to get rid of it. It was not until i got it home that i realized the printer which cost $2000 in 1982 has probably never been used and it is in museum quality condition. I have a couple of pictures on ebay under the number 131685330045 where i am selling just the manuals and asking if anyone would know what the printer is worth or where i should try to market it. The printer looks like the day it came off the assembly line and whether it ever was used the most important thing is that it was well stored. I also have the trs -80 model 3 in very good condition. I have tested the computer but have left the printer alone for the moment. Besides the system i also have the programs superscriptsit and visical. At this point i do not know if it would be better for me to sell the system in pieces or together or if there is even a right answer to that question, I can only find one daisy wheel printer 26-1158 for sale , which is on ebay and the ask is $4000 US, but the seller told me he does not expect to get anywhere near that price. I was hoping that someone on here may be able to give me some advice and be able to tell me what it is worth, whether i should sell the system in pieces or where i might inquire to learn more. I am certain that i will end up marketing it in the US since there does not seem to be a big demand in Canada and I am open to offers.
any advice would be appreciated
