The Never-Ending "SALE" Scheme
We've heard a rumor that Legacy Box has a whole department assigned to figure out new schemes to make people think they're getting something "ON SALE" so they will prepay their order before they even send it in.
They say their "SALES" are for a limited time so that you'll pull the trigger and pay for your order. But if you wait and shop around, there is ALWAYS a SALE. If you miss a sale today, wait until tomorrow because the sale might even be better.
As of May 30, 2024, we are no longer tracking Legacy Box's FAKE "SALES". It's tiresome. It's never-ending. You can get your own notices of their fake sales every day. Just go on their website and leave your email address once. You'll be their multiple email victim from then until you try to cancel the emails.
How Can They Give a "SALE" Every Day?
They mark their "regular" prices up unreasonably high so nobody would pay them without a "SALE!!!!" Want just a regular price and not a sale? Not going to happen whether you choose to pay "full price" or not, because at Legacy Box, you never pay full price even if you want to.
Why? Because Legacy Box knows that people are "suckers for sales" and they will give you that SALE. Based on our Slide Scanning Comparison tests, you probably will not get the scanning quality you should expect for the price you're paying, but you will get that SALE.
IMPORTANT: There will be numerous "Pop-ups" trying to get your email address. You do NOT have to give them your email address, which they will SPAM at least once a day. Just click on the "NO, I'LL PAY FULL PRICE" text. You'll still get the bogus "SALE" price and you won't get spammed until or unless you place an order and have to give them an email address. Then, be prepared for SPAM on STEROIDS.
The "E-Deal" Trap
How Legacy Box E-Deals Work:
- Lock in video, photo and film digitizing with a Legacy Box E-Deal. Includes Digital Download.
- Once your order is placed, they'll email you a voucher that includes a single-use code for you to enter when ordering your Legacy Box kit.
- If you've purchased this deal as a gift, you can share it by printing the voucher or forwarding it to whomever you purchased it for.
- To redeem, simply visit Legacybox.com and select the kit that corresponds with the deal that was reserved. Then enter the code from the voucher and complete the order.
THE TRAP: This is kind of hard to understand, but it looks like you have to purchase an "E-Deal" and then they send you the code and then you can go ahead and go online and place an order using the "E-Deal." Once you've swallowed the hook, then they reel you in for the order. You might want to check and see that this silly E-Deal doesn't expire on you and they keep the money. It's all a matter of continual pressure to place the order and pay up front.

Double Your Order for FREE!! OR... 50% OFF for FREE!!
Is there a difference?
How stupid do they think you are?
VERY, VERY, VERY STUPID. VERY STOOPID.
"Buy One Get One Sale" — All right. Finally a different sale and not one of those "50%" off sales. Oh, wait. Yeah. It IS a 50% off an already high price which they NEVER charge in the first place because nobody would pay it. Mark your prices up unreasonably high and then you have a lot of room to pretend to "lower your prices" for continual pretend "SALES"!
Is there really a sucker born every minute? Forget P.T. Barnum and ask Legacy Box to find out. They say they have a million customers. We wonder how many of those million would be "happy" customers if they could see that they could have gotten much better slide scanning and paid less?
Documentation: Years of Perpetual "SALES"
Below is a collection of Legacy Box promotional emails showing their never-ending sales cycle. Notice how there's always urgency, always a "last chance," always a reason to order RIGHT NOW without comparison shopping.
2024 Sales
2023 Sales
September 21, 2023: Don't worry because you're not going to miss a sale at Legacy Box even if you do NOT HURRY, HURRY, HURRY and sign up today without shopping around. Just sign up for their emails and they will bombard you with fake "sales" off their never charged "regular" marked up very high prices. Legacy Box has a sale every day of the year. Take your time and make a wise choice. You have no idea what you're getting into until you get their final scans back and unless you at least do a free demo scan at Affordable Scanning, you're probably not going to know that you could have done better with your final images and with price as well.
2022 Sales
August 24, 2022: OMG what a SALE!! ONLY 48 HOURS!!! PANIC CITY! DON'T THINK. JUST DO IT. BUY, BUY, BUY, means BYE, BYE BYE to your money.
Another Legacy Box SALE. Sign up now before the SALE ENDS. Hurry, hurry, rush, don't think, or you will MISS THIS never to be repeated sale (until next time, which could be minutes away) if you do NOT PAY UP FRONT RIGHT NOW!! WE PROMISE YOU THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER SALE EXACTLY LIKE THIS SALE SO GET OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD AND SIGN UP AND PAY BEFORE YOU CAN ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT SEEING IF THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
This is Legacybox's tactic, some might call it a "Flim Flam,"
TO GET YOU TO PANIC INTO SIGNING UP FOR VERY HIGH PRICES AND VERY LOW QUALITY RESULTS BEFORE YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IT. WHO NEEDS TO THINK? JUST GET YOUR CREDIT CARD OUT AND SIGN UP before you miss out!
They must be credible if they spend a LOT on advertising. RIGHT? What could go wrong?
August 28, 2022: Legacy Box "Early Access to the Labor Day SALE!!!!!"
Apparently we're very special because we're previous "suckers" or should I say "customers" of Legacy Box, we get a special sale that the rest of you do NOT get. Don't worry, after they harvest the uninformed previous customers, you'll get the same fake sale.
August 5, 2022: Legacybox's "Last Chance Sale" — If you think this is your "Last Chance," we have a bridge we think you'll like.
July 6, 2022: "Xmas In July Is Here!" — This is kind of hard to understand but, it looks like you have to purchase an "E-Deal" and then they send you the code and then you can go ahead and go online and place an order using the "E-Deal." Once you've swallowed the hook, then they reel you in for the order. You might want to check and see that this silly E-Deal doesn't expire on you and they keep the money. It's all a matter of continual pressure to place the order and pay up front.
June 30, 2022: Fourth of July Sale — Legacy Box advertises their sale price, but let's look at what Affordable Scanning's price would be for the same services: $31.40 AND YOU GET SCANNING AT 4,000 PPI, OVERALL COLOR CORRECTION AND TURNAROUND IN ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS.
May 27, 2022: The "Mom" sale is now 50% — Want a better sale? Wait and see if you can get 60% off for Father's Day.
April 2022: Mother's Day Pre-Sale — Hurry and don't miss it. Send your order in without shopping around or you might miss their "60% OFF SALE" for Mother's Day. If you want the 60% off sale price you have to let them "harvest" your email address. If not, and you choose "No, I'll pay the full price" don't worry because EVERYONE GETS THE FAKE SALE PRICE. Nobody pays the fake regular price no matter what you do. The "SALE" is baked into their order form. They want your email address so they can SPAM you with email offers every day.
The Bottom Line
This is how they can give a "SALE!" every day: They mark their prices up so high, nobody would pay them without a "SALE!!!!" All Lemmings line up here and don't miss a fake "sale." Just leave your credit card behind with Legacy Box and line up at the "disappointed scanning customers cliff and wait in the long line for your turn jumping off."
Has anyone used Legacy Box's scanning service? Given the quality scanning service you could have gotten with us, are you happy with the results you got from Legacy? We would assume that you are NOT. If you have a website, we could use some links to our website to warn people that they can get much better scanning results from Affordable Scanning Services LLC.
