neat receipt scanner

Staples has a Neat Receipt scanner for $189. They are advertising that as a great deal. Does anyone know? Is it? I am not big on technology and I really cannot afford to spend $189 on anything right now. But, if that is an amazing deal, I don't want to pass it up.

The price has come down. Several years ago they were almost $400. If you can take photos of receipts and business cards it's the better way to go. I haven't used Neat Receipts, but have seen it at work. I used to have some housesitting gigs for foreclosure properties. The auction team that traveled from state to state used one for scanning all of the documents they needed at sales. Considering the types of documents they were working with I can only assume it was good.

Thanks Lisa!

Anyone else have an opinion/insight as to whether it is worth spending $189 on. PLMK.
Keep your eyes open because not infrequently I have seen them for $99. I still have not bothered. I am home based and have little interest in reporting from the field, so all of my stuff comes home and is scanned with my all-in-one while I change to my grubbies, get a snack and start the coffee pot before doing reports.

When I was doing hotel and resort shops I picked up behind-security airport shops that needed to be submitted the same day. A careful digital camera photo of the receipt took care of that. The receipts and such from the hotels and resorts could be scanned and submitted once I got home.

I like to head out on shops burdened with as little stuff as possible because among other things summer heat in the car can be damaging to electronics. I usually have my digital camera with me, my DVR with microphone in place, my watch and my instructions. When the weather is beastly hot I will have a cooler with a couple of home filled water bottles that are cold and if I am doing a string of grocery shops, a large cooler with freezer packs to keep stuff cold for the several hours before I can get it to refrigeration. That is already more than enough stuff to haul out to the vehicle!

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.
Thanks. I am beginning to think I am fine without a portable scanner. I am sure one would come in handy once in a while. But, I am fine without one. It's not like I've got $189 burning a hole in my pocket.
