Used scanners?

Anyone know of good places to look for used equipment like scanners? Mine is slowly starting to die, and I'm starting to collect info on good scanners to ahve on hand when it finally kicks the bucket.

My ideal scanner and price would be the Epson Expression 836XL for under $450, although I expect that's a pipe dream ([livejournal.com profile] tesstrosa, that's what nyanko-chan scanned the marker picture in on). If I can't get that one, I'll probably end up spending $300 on a scanner, and if it's used I can get a bit more bang for my buck with that.

It's 12.2 x 17.2"!! *whine* That would allow me to scan in a comic board without having to cut-and-paste two parts together! I waaaaaaaaaant!!

She says she accepts the default settings, scans at 600ppi, then tweaks the color in Photoshop.
