You might try doing a search at cnet.com for the best price.  I'd heard on 
this list that ecost.com had the best price for a SS120, but when I bought 
mine I found that pagecomputer.com beat them by a few dollars.  Also, ecost 
claimed they gave free shipping, but if you read the fine print, they charged 
2.4 percent for a handling, which was $72 in my case.  Pagecomputer only 
charged $20 shipping and no handling fee.  Ecost also wouldn't accept a 
return unless you could get the manufacturer to certify that the scanner was 
broken and do so within 14 days.  Needless to say, if you bought from ecost, 
it was your scanner forever.  Pagecomputer, on the other hand, had a 30 day 
return policy, though they still had strings attached.  Wherever you buy your 
scanner from, make sure you read all of the fine print and can live with the 
terms and conditions should anything go wrong with your scanner purchase.
