Is that a used price? Even then it seems pretty low as the new price appears to be about $180.

There are two Kodak scanners. One is the self contained unit for $180 the other a cardboard unit using your phone as the camera. That one lists for $35. I assume this is the sale item. Do you have a link?

Yes. During Covid, I scanned over 1,500 slides. Excellent results. You can adjust exposure, and scan at 22 mb.

Was that the $180 version or the $30 version?

If you aren't concerned about optimal technical image quality, it might do the job.
On the other hand, if you want something better, read my white paper, attached below as a PDF file.

I'm still confused. Do you think you are getting the $180 scanner for $30?

My pal's wife bought the more costly scanner when it first came out and loves it. The scanner also received very good reviews!
Be well! Ed

Thank you so much for your White Paper!
Other than the PP, this sounds AMAZINGLY like the Process we used for slide duplication in the past [Film Days]!

That's because I was a multi-media, multi-image AV producer in the 1980s. We had a Bowens Illumitran IIIc for simple slide duplicating.
For multi-image production, we used a custom rig with a pin-registered Nikon F3, a large Bencher copy stand, an inverted Beseler 4x5 enlarger color head, and a vernier-dial controlled slide holding compound that could move a slide in 0.001" increments, both left and right. We could compose multiple slide images onto a single frame of duplicating film.
All the principles of slide duplication work for digitizing film images... just substitute a digital camera for a film camera.
The side benefit is that both color negatives and black-and-white negatives can be copied and inverted with software, with excellent results.
I also added lights to my copy stand for copying prints and flat artwork, too, something not shown in the two-year-old white paper. My goal was to turn flat art, prints, slides, and negatives into digital files for use in making prints, editing into videos, and posting on Internet sharing sites.

Thanks for this extremely well-presented lesson on digitizing film!
