I want to second what Em said, I have gotten several scanners off Freecycle or
Cheapcycle and sent them to people in need when someone posted on the list that
they were interested in a scanner.
You can start with just about anything, just ask Pam Hoffard, and then when you
can upgrade or be blessed with someone's hand-me-down, you really appreciate
how
far a scanner can go. Smiles.
I started my scans on an HP all-in-one, moved to an Epson, then a Canon, and
eventually sucked it in and found a reasonably priced Optic Book 3600 on eBay,
and never looked back. Having been blessed with the upgrade to the 3800, I can
honestly say there is a significant speed and responsiveness enhancement,
especially with prices being nearly identical, so I hope when Doug and Nichole
are both well again I can get back to some more regular scanning.
Hopefully we can get scanners to everyone who is interested and find mentors to
help them create the best scans possible. I sure do appreciate how hard our
volunteers work!
Valerie

For interested scanners that don't have a lot of money to spend on a scanner,
I'd recommend that you check out http://www.freecycle.org/ and see if there is
an active group near you. This is a web group designed to reduce waste.
People
post things that they want to get rid of to see if anybody else wants it. If
you do, you respond to the poster and if it hasn't already been claimed, you
can
work out the pick up arrangements. Best part is, everything is free. I've
seen
quite a few all-in-one printers come through my area.

Larry lumpkin has a used opticon 3600 he's willing to donate to someone who
needs it and wants to scan. I'm not sure how that works, i.e., how much it
would
cost to ship it to you; maybe you and he can split the cost.
