I've never tried to use EBay. I'm a little afraid of PayPal. How did you arrange the finances, the purchase? - Jackie ----- Original Message ----- From: Rui Cabral To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 28, 2004 8:45 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Epson Scanners Hi Jacjie: I recently picked up an epson 1660 on ebay for my girlfriend. She wanted to volunteer for bookshare so I figured getting her a fast quality scanner was a good start. (smile) On a side note, my sister has an 1670 at work which she refuses to use. it averages 53 seconds a scan, and well when your used to scanning with a ferrari you don't want to scan by horseback.

To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 28, 2004 8:29 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Epson Scanners I was looking for the Epson 1660 scanner discussed in July on this list. I found Epson perfection 1650 and Epson Perfection 1670. Each is $69, refurbished. Are those okay substitutes for the Epson 1660? Nobody mentioned the work Perfection, and these are photo scanners, so I wasn't sure. Please help. - Jackie McCraw
