I am in the market for a new scanner. I looked at advertisements for them.

And without advertisements you would not have found a scanner to buy? Or are you conflating product listings with advertisements?

Me too. I went to a store online that sells them and determined which one I wanted by features and reveiws.

How did you know about a store that sells them?
