I have a 5000 ED with Silverfast Archive Suite.. I've wacked it on ebay for 99 cents but want to make sure I get something reasonable for it.

 

How much do you think I should expect?

 

Regards,

 

Daniel.

 

PS. Yes, another now broke M9 purchaser :)

A grand at least.

I have one too and it has worked flawlessly with Vuescan software. Like you, I am waiting on an M9, but from David Farkas. I rather think I am NOT going to sell my 5000 ED, though. They will get scarcer and therefore is it not like money in the bank, with interest? I am however not sure what to do. Hard assets may beat green pieces of paper!

Daniel, I gather yours is the sole WA one on ebay. Seems to be going swimmingly! Best of luck with the bidding.

I've been looking for a scanner, and was watching those that appeared on Ebay. Used Coolscan V goe for about $1000; used 5000 for about $2000; new 5000 for about $3000, as does a new 9000. That's all in US dollars. It makes a $500 Epson flatbed (even with its' limitations) appealing.

I notice there are still a few dedicated film scanners out there, but from people I've never heard of. Is there no new scanner out there that is good and reasonably priced (taking over from the Coolscan V)?

 

At the time I bought my Coolscan V ED, it was just "the" scanner you bought for a reasonable price. Is there no successor?
