Trying to get local vintage arcade photos gets pricey!
I was just quoted some pic scanning prices from my local historical museum. Any old pics of the arcades and malls in this area from the 70's/80s (that they have archived) would cost me:
$5 entrance fee
$11 scan fee per photo (at 300dpi) $4 at 150dpi
$2 CD Rom burning fee
So, for 10 vintage photos scanned at 300dpi and burned, I'd need to shell out $118 + tax? WTF? Plus I'd still have to have them printed. What a crock. The historical society has just destroyed my dreams of reliving my arcade youth though pictures.
