cheapest on ebay right now: ($99) (ENDS IN 4 HOURS):

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSys-MP9320-2-8-EPC-UHF-Long-Range-RFID-Reader-/120996098984?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2bedf3a8

PDF for same:

this looks like a hacker special - not sure how they work (2 for $39)

this looks like the best one ($175 to $178):

this seems to be the hacker way to do it:
