which has been replaced, maybe even discontinued. The replacement, the
Epson Perfection 2480, is a fine scanner for documents, photos ,
slides and negatives. I bought one for 88.00 plus 6.00 shipping, US.
I'm sure if you took the time, you could find a vendor to better that
price. I am quite happy with mine, even though it has no on/off
switch. I use a separate surge protector for that switch.
