I have an opportunity to buy a slightly used scanner for 1/6 of its price when new. If there are people who want large things scanned this might be a little business opportunity. Is there anyone on this list who might be interested in having a large picture or some other large document scanned? Pricing is yet unknown. I'm just trying to see if there is any interest at all. Trying to see whether to buy the thing. Thanks, Lorin Lund PS it is also capable of extra high resolution 2-4x the resolution of a regular scanner.

Given that most in-home scanners can't even scan a legal size document, I'd think there's a potential market. OTOH, it would involve trusting my document to a shipping service (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Uncle Fred's Carrier Pigeon, Undine's Unicorn, whatever) and a whole lot us aren't _quite_ that trusting. You may have a better feel for how many ARE that trusting (g), and of course pricing will pay a role -- if it costs me $5 to mail it to you for scanning, and you charge me anything at all for the scan and $5 to mail the document back to me, I'm in for $10, plus the time it'll take me to d/l the image. If you send me a CD with the image as well as return the document, the mailing costs went up to $7 or so ... how many people have documents or photos valuable enough to make it worth it? (Can you tell I had to mail something recently? Turns out, it would have been cheaper and faster to drive the 75 miles each way to hand deliver it.)
