Hi! I am given the opportunity to buy Epson 2450 scanner (flat bed, but seems to be the only reasonable one for scanning the film) for $250. It is about one year old, one owner.
My questions would be: 1. Is it a fair price? What is a fair price? 2. What is the potential points of total failure of this unit? 3. How long usually flat bed scanners work before they have to be replaced? My purpose of using it would be to eliminate process variable of lab scanning my negatives, and doing the job myself. Time to time I would scan documents, thus making my home PC into complete copier/fax machine. Your help is very much appreciated. P.S. A moment ago by mistake I've posted it from my other account that is not registered with PDML, obviously <bg>. So you might get two very similar messages from me. I apologize for that. --- Boris Liberman www.geocities.com/dunno57 www.photosig.com/viewuser.php?id=38625
