You're looking for a dedicated film scanner??!
There's a Nikon model starting at $550, I don't know if you consider that decent?

What's your budget and quality reqirements?
For small volumes, you might consider sending in the files to a scanning service company instead (scancafe.com seems to be the best value for money, according to many sources...)

I have a great Minolta DImage that I'd love to sell, shoot me a PM- I'm sure we can work something out.
