Gary,
I bought mine from www.onvia.com and found an online coupon to drop the
price $25. They must have gone up in price, as with the coupon, I bought
mine for a touch less than $400. You might have luck by calling onvia. If
you tell them that you're looking for a coupon, they will sometimes give it
to you (I think the telephone sales folks are commissioned) They also offer
free shipping.
I never saw one in person before I bought mine.
Oh yes, do yourself a favor and buy a copy of Vuescan for $40 (you actually
buy Vueprint and Vuescan comes with it, from www.hamrick.com )
