... I just spent today on a 100% working Epson 3170 flatbed scanner with a full set of 35mm and 120 film and slide adpaters. This should cut down on my developing costs a lot as now I no longer have to order CDs with my developing. |

Well, it WAS a gamble, actually. Goodwill doesn't guarantee any electronics you buy from them will actaully work. So, if it had been broken, I would have spent the money for nothing. Lucky for me, though, it works 100% |

Great price! I bought a 3170 new several years ago, and have been very pleased with the results I've had from scanning both 35mm and 6x6 slides.
You might want to consider picking up a film holder from these guys:

It wil improve the sharpness of your scans.
Best,
