HP ScanJet 5500C Scanner with Auto Photo Feeder
Scan in the place where you were
$99.99 + $5 Shipping and Handling
Turn on your scanner. Open your scanning software. Lift the lid of the scanner. Place one photo in the corner of the glass. Close the lid of the scanner. Wait for the scanner to warm up. Wait. Wait. Hit the scan button. Wait. Check the image on the screen. OK, one down. Lift the lid of the scanner. Remove the photo. Place one photo in the corner of the glass…
It’s as maddeningly tedious to read as it is to actually do. There’s a whole world whizzing by out there, shutterbug! Don’t lose another invaluable moment of sweet, sacred life to the archaic demands of your stone age photo scanner. This Jetsons-worthy timesaver can zip through a stack of 3×5s or 4×6s in mere seconds apiece. The lighted adapter eats negatives for breakfast and slides for lunch. One-touch buttons let you copy ‘em, email ‘em, share ‘em on the web – everything but throw ‘em in the oven for baby and me.
Diisregard the powerful hi-res scanner for a moment, if you can – the adapters alone usually cost more than this whole package. But wait! There’s more! You also get a bundle of software for easy manipulation of your scanned pics, and all the cables and manuals you need to put this mug to work. And you don’t even have to thank us. Who Woots you, baby?

Looks pretty sleek to me. Too bad I already have an ancient scanner that still works.
wooty mantra…
too busy taking pictures of my crap
Looks neat but I need a MFC 201C
Consistently bad reviews at amazon too. I was all set to go ahead and get this thing until I read a few… Apparently the feeder jams a bunch among other issues.
pleeeeeeeeaaaaase!!!

[quote user=“spcmnspff302”][quote user=“roccochiv”][quote user=“Phantomweevil”][quote user=“reykjavik”][quote user=“doytchev”]MORE DECENT WOOTS IN THE BOX, PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
AND MORE RAM IN WOOT’S SERVERS[/quote]
I dont get it, is he trying to be funny? What does “more decent woots in the box” even mean? In what box? And why do you have to keep repeating it every day in big bold red? Honestly, I pray to god that when you go to high school tomorrow morning, the jocks give you yet another beating you will be talking about with your shrink for a very long time. I do not condone violence, but with people like you living on our planet, its genuinely starting to make more and more sense.
P.S. also, its not pleaseeeeee, its pleeeease. You can’t over-emphasize something that is silent. $20 bucks says he’s russian.[/quote]
Holy crap, you just said everything that I was thinking, even down to the silent E’s. I’m guessing he wants to be known as his own quirkly little character, the “more woots in the box” guy. And then he cries himself to sleep as usual.[/quote]
Too Funny, I have been thinking the same thing about this Jack Off for over 3 months now![/quote]
He’s just one of “those people”. The stupid losers, who have nothing better to do than spend as much of their lawm-mozing money as they can to buy anything that shows up on woot for less than $25. He’s one of those guys who, for some reason unbeknownst to sun-dwellers, likes to be the first person to make a stupid little post on this stupid little forum (no offense meant to woot.com or it’s normal inhabitants in any way). He’s like the 12 year old kids who invade F-Body, WRX, and EVO forums, and tries to “pwn” them with his talk about Hondas being able to have 500hp. And he refuses to acknowledge the fact that an LS1 can make the same power with a few bolt-ons. He thinks, for some reason he’s funny and everyone has some respect for him.
What a loser…[/quote]
ebay wins!
Dang, was all set to get one but held off. Seems like reviews show that was a good idea. it’s not like my negatives are going anywhere tucked as they are in 5 boxes at the bottom of my closet.
Hey look! I just got quoted. Neat…
Sorry for that, but we must fight fire with fire.
$79 on eBay but no WARRANTY. Thanks WOOT I needed a scanner. Now to explain purchase to wife when she wakes up.
Geez. $79 on ebay LMAO!! read the fine print from that $79 listing:
Convergence Terms and Conditions
· · Our products are purchased from overstocked items of contract manufacturers. This means that the product was opened by certified manufacturer engineers (in this case HP) tested and sold at much lower than retail value with void warranty.
the Woots come with 1 year warranty from HP.
THANKS WOOT!!! I got my 3
Sorry for that, but we must fight fire with fire.[/quote
True. What I said was lame, and I deserve to be made fun of.
But I most definitely am not as lame as this kid.
