To the best of my knowledge, Polaroid, or their consigns still offer
service and parts for the Sprintscan 4000 scanners.  Since the product
was made for Polaroid by Microtek, they may also have service and parts
available.

I would find $50 a very low price for a properly working SS scanner.

 All Polaroid scanners have been orphans for quite some time
 now, I'm sure that affects price.

 P.S. - I've still a sprintscan 35 which is undoubtedly worth less
than the postage to mail it (don't use it though, I use my
Minolta Elite 5400, also an orphan -- but not for
as long).  :-)

You need to be sure you are looking at completed sales.

I have no idea what any of my film scanners are worth,
but given the likelihood of a mechanical issue, I wouldn'
t risk my reputation to sell a film scanner unless it has
 had a factory refurb. Especially true for old CCFT based
 scanners.

The Polaroid is in worse shape for resale u
nless Microtek is servicing them.

I recently tried to sell a used Polaroid SprintS
can 4000 film scanner using an eBay sales service.  They
said they couldn't sell it for me because they don't sell
 things worth less than $100 and they found a SprintScan
4000 on sale on ebay for $50.00.  I thought the Polaroid
Sprintscan was still highly regarded as a filmscanner.  I
s it really only worth $50.00 or is my informant wrong?

Google Craigslist Polaroid SprintScan 4000 - you will find a few 4000
scanners offered for sale.
