It costs about $250 retail, but can sometimes be found for $200. The scanner only does a single side, so you have to flip the page over manuall. There is a sheet feeder for A-size and similar only; for B-size you have to use it as a flatbed. If you need a sheet-fed duplex scanner for B-size, expect to spend a pretty good chunk of change even for a used one.
