Thanks, Guido. My husband was looking at the 2480, and I told him to hold off 
on that. I'm glad I did. *smile* I'll check these out tomorrow. Take care.

  Julie, for example,  I have found the following refurbished scanners on the 
Epson site that are worth looking at: 

  Epson 4180 $149 (regular $499).  Duty cycle  36000 scans.  This has the 
steepest discount and is the most heavy duty.  Can use a doc feeder.

  Epson 3170 refurb:  $124 (list 179).  Duty cycle 30000 scans.  Probably the 
fastest of the 3 by a small margin.  Can use a doc feeder.

  Epson 2400 refurb: $75 (current list is $119,  but when the device was 
current it costed approx $300).  Duty cycle 30000 scans.  I tried it:  it's a 
real beauty! No doc feeder.

  Bottom line,  you can't go wrong with any of the above. 
  Stay away from Epson 1670, 2480, 2580,  they are very slow and duty cycle is 
only 10000 scans.  Other Epson scanners from Epson refurb are more expensive.

  Julie,  what is your budget for a scanner?  Meaningful Answers depend on 
quantifiable budget.

  Hi, all. OK, my scanner finally bit the dust. I knew it was coming, but...oh, 
well. Anyway, I really want the Epson Perfection 3170, but it's just a little 
out of my price range right now, and I need a scanner. *smile* Does anyone else 
have any good suggestions that might be a little cheaper? Thanks, and take 
care.
