There were 6 or so HP 5100A units sold on Ebay in the last two weeks,
and it is still supported by HP in some fashion.  The newer version, the
S20, which is nearly identical except for the interface and software,
also has had 17 sales on Ebay in the last 13 days.  There are numerous
of both for sale right now there.  The SCSI units are going for between
$60 (without any cables/transformer, or software) to about $95. The USB
model is going for $125 to about $250.  There are still thousands if not
tens of thousands of people who own this scanner, I'm quite sure.
