The least expensive barcode scanner is the contact wand (about $100) followed closely by the CCD scanner (about $150). The most expensive (but most versatile) is the laser scanner ($300 up). You can actually buy barcode scanners at many CompUSA stores (the brand is the Wasp). CompUSA has them for sale on-line These scanners come with a PS/2 keyboard wedge. If you want to connect the scanners to USB (for example a laptop), you will need to purchase a PS/2 to USB adapter. ID Automation and RVB Systems have good prices.
