Cheap Epson Scanners

[Remo Nonaz]

I happened to be looking for an on-line copy of the user's manual for my Epson V500 scanner yesterday and pulled up a link showing that Epson is selling these for $180 with free ground shipping. The V500 is very nice, if older, scanner that has 'Digital ICE' dust and scratch reduction among other features. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?sku=B11B189011

If you are need of a good flatbed scanner, this might be a good time to grab a V500 on the cheap.

Noticed that the are selling V500 refurbs for $99 shipped free.  At that price you can't really afford not to get one.  I've purchased a refurb 3800 printer and V700 scanner and would not hesitate to buy Epson refurbs.

I also bought a refurb 3800 and a refurb V500. Both excellent units and both flawless since 2009. My 3800 actually came with a 1-year warranty when I expected it to be 90 days. Good stuff.

The V500 is a respectable scanner at an affordable price. It's great with reflective art. It's a quick and dirty solution for slides and negatives.
