Go to www.epson.com and under product information click on the link for clearance center. Here you can pick up a refurbished 636U for only $45 or a 640U for only $59, both of which only cost $10 for UPS standard shipping. Even as refurbished units they come with a 1 year warranty, which is as long as I've seen. Personally I own the older 636U scanner and it is fast and has excellent image quality.

Epson scanners have regularly been rated the best of class for the last few years by numerous computing magazines, and the quality shows. I would highly recommend Epson scanners. For $70 you will NOT get a better scanner than either of these two. Period.
