Well, how much is a scanner? If it isn't ridiculous, I could probably get one with B-Day greenbacks.
You could probably get one between $100-$200, just don't buy an Epson... We've had to send our back three times to get lame refurbished ones. It's an Epson Photo Rx600 (I think) and was around $200 when we bought it ~4 years ago.
Scanners by themselves (on Amazon) look to be between $60 and $150 for decent ones. I dunno how much the combo printer/scanners are, if you think the printer would be useful you could look into that.
EDIT: We have one of these Brothers, never actually used it for scanning (has to be hooked up to one comp only to scan, and we use it as a network printer), but they're an awesome brand:

It also sends faxes, copies, and prints in B/W.
