Me too, even though I already have a CoolScan-IV ED.

Like a Nikon CoolScan LS-8000 medium format film scanner (4000dpi) for
$1200.
I've seen them going for far more than that. In fact, I've seen the
film carriers alone listed for $800! (No scanner included.) Yeah,
that's a bit unrealistic, but 1200 bucks for the scanner in excellent
condition with carriers for 35mm negs, 35mm slides and 120 is a great
deal.
But I checked out the seller and found he's been on eBay for a long
time, sold just a few items and all of them a photography-related. He
answered questions and clearly knew what he was talking about.
So I went for it. It arrived today and I'm impressed so far. Here's my
first scan (somewhat reduced in size — the original is almost 11,000 x
9000, ~97 megapixels, 536 megabytes as a TIFF in 16-bit color).
