That is modern HP still trading on a once great brandname as a former innovative scientific instrument maker but mainly flogging cheap consumer PCs and printers. My ancient true HP 5300C scanner is still going strong and will still give modern ones a run for their money - the miserable curs stopped supporting when Vista came out. > I hated it so much that I was actually happy when it developed > a failure.

Having purchased single items of little value many times and frequently as an individual here's what I've found works the best to get pricing. Request a quote for item whatever with shipping and give a zip code. That's apparently close enough to a purchase order that somebody will eventually get back to you to fill in the blanks and complete the order by giving you a call or a quote. Just asking "how much is x" doesn't seem to work for the most part.
