Have for sale a Nikon Coolscan V ED that recently moved to Ebay C$895 OBO + shipping
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180850303384#ht_724wt_1398
Pick up a great well-respected unit at a fair price, put it through it's paces and probably re-sell it for same or more money when project finished. Not often you can say that in todays fast-depreciating gear market.
Original forum listing:
---
Includes slide feeder (MA-21), film feeder (SA-21) as well as factory manuals, cable and original Nikon software (though you'll want VueScan, etc., as MUCH faster and utterly painless vs. the Nikon software - no surprise there).
Bought it about 18 mos ago to scan some older slides for in-laws, something have been doing at a rate of a handful at a time when schedule permitted - and am literally down to the last slides. Total scan volume has been low. Unit has been under a dust cover in gear closet 99% of the time I've owned it. No box. NOT original owner. Unit in great shape.
Sucker works like a tank. NO issues whatsoever. The V ED (and the now even more ghastly spendy 5000ED, which I've also owned in past) are incredibly robust and reliable machines that do a great job. Just plug in, set your scan parameters via software of choice and feed it slides/film. No hiccups, brain-farts, chewed slides/film, nada. It just works all the time, every time.
I won't list all the particulars of the CS V ED, but basics are 4000dpi, 14bit, ED glass, Digital ICE, etc. (Nikon site link):

Shipping by Canada Post using buyer's (fully insured) choice of service. Last scans should be finished today, would be able to get out Monday-Tuesday. Payment by PP, certified cheque, or if in Canada, EMT (save 3%).
Selling worldwide - with some, typical, exceptions. Please enquire.

Bump.
Taking pics to list this sucker over weekend on that, shudder, auction site (hate using despite higher prices normally get), so if anyone's waffling and wants a nice 35mm scanner from a reputable seller (check here, on getdpi as robmac or on FM as Conner999)... Or an investment judging by the climbing prices for these things.. Listing will be a simple BIN (hate auctions) at, given prices of late, just under or around CDN$1K plus shipping, so call the current price a discount for an easier sale.
Some rough shipping approximations for those interested. These are based on enquiries I've had. All are insured for $900 and via Canada Post Xpress Post ir Int'l Air mail (www.canadapost.ca):
Weight: 4.5KG
Dimensions: 15x12x14.5"
Eu:~C$180
Russia: app. ~C$200
US (CA): ~C$50-91 depending on service
