As I mentioned, I paid $70 inc carriage, for my 3170 PHOTO. That was refurbished. I often find that the UK price is about the same figure in Sterling.
Today, I see the Epson 4490 at $139.99, this is about $100 less than the price 18 months ago. The soft that comes with this is better than mine, but the issue of the poor plastic 35mm film holders is a big one in my opinion, but at this price, it takes the edge off the grumble.
Really, I would be hard pushed to get a better copy than the 4490 gives. It always exceeded by far, my most demanding search for detail. The picture of me aged <1 with my mother posted as an example a while back, had been a dirty neg for most of my life. I saw how good it was for the first time since getting the Epsons.
