*edit*
Do they require a print of each scan? Maybe you could save some $$$ by skipping the prints? Either way, I'll kick in some fer ya. The community appreciates what you do.

those prices are robbery.
either send them to Mr Do for scanning or buy a suitable scanner. in the long run you'll save money.

These are single, full-size bezel scans, on an industry-grade ($10,000+) scanner.
The plus side is the single scans are much easier to clean-up, than the eight-piece stitched together pieces.
And the cost of shipping to me, then shipping back, would be almost the same anyway (due to package dimensions). Even more on some of the glass pieces he has done.
Also, the stuff he's borrowing isn't really allowed to be shipped.
The time he's been saving me is worth the $35 price tag, which is why I keep sending money his way when I can.

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
