I would like to find a scanner so I can scan my old photos and they don't sell just a simple scanner anymore. If you got a good one that you don't use anymore please PM me. No junk please. Thanks

I have one that you can just make me an offer on.
However... my personal recommendation would be to buy a new one.
Reasons why:
-- Anything you would buy "used" probably only works with a parallel port or USB 1.0 which you will find is extreamly slow at scanning.
-- You may also have a hard time finding drivers to work with operating systems like XP and/or VISTA.
-- A new scanner should come with software for editing.
-- New scanners are pretty cheap and will run with USB 2.0 (MUCH, MUCH Faster!)
-- If you have alot of photos to scan... you will need the speed. Traditional scanners can take over a minute to complete a quality scan. IE: 1 roll of 45 photos has you sitting in front of the computer for at least 1 hour.
Have you looked at something like this:
