Darren, Good rhetorical question!On Costco.com, it's $470 (shipping and handling included).

Nature of the business, I would think. "To the buyer beware" as the saying goes. Shop around, find the best deal that suits your needs. Do you want to use up your car and gas mileage, (maybe hop the bus, or even train), or is it going to be less costly to buy online? Will it possibly save you valuable time or will it end up evening out? If you find you need to return it, what options do you have (i.e., free return label, etc.), either way and how will that possibly affect overall cost? Takes a bit of figuring out what works best for you. BTW: As of 12/25/2013, I can't even find these at Costco anymore. Darn...

Did you find yours online? I found a "save 15% on select electronics and accessories" on the back of a catalog, but I get a "We're sorry, the coupon code you have entered has already expired or has reached the maximum redemption limit." error. Bummer! Now if only Amazon would listen up and drop the price they would have my money already!

Probably. Reason for price could be inventory issues. Sometimes a retailer sells products cheaply to make room for new inventory on order.

I'm with you Allan. I just purchased the 650 at Costco.com for $325 including shipping and handling. I couldn't justify paying an extra ~ $200 for the bluetooth functionality of the 660. FYI, current Amazon price for the $600 is $517 (includes free shipping). Good luck in your search & Happy Thanksgiving Angelita!!

Check out other sources. I found one place for about $25, but it may have shipping costs added. Play detective before buying--I do.

It's only a black friday special. Though, I spoke with their large items department and they said they are not guaranteeing the $179 price. That is a possible rumor and they may or may not discount the price. And if they do they do not know what prices they will be taking these down to. They will do their best to be competitive with other black friday sales. That's just what they told me

That's Amazon's Price. Click the "11 New From" link. They are cheaper from other retailers.

Costco is offering one similar to this on their web site starting Aug. 5th. It was in the home mailer ad I received yesterday

I am no an expert, but I do know at times amazon will price match other competitors. As of September 2nd, Bestbuy has this item at this sale price. Hope this helps.

Costco would have to go below $1500 to beat Amazon because of sales tax (in CA) and I would also have to figure out how to get it home. Let's just hope Amazon makes this bad boy a Gold Box deal of the day. I would buy it in five seconds if it hit $1500.

I noticed the same thing, Kurt. I'm planning on getting this after the new year, but if the price keeps going up on this site, I may try a less expensive alternative!

Yes, their price is $349 - but they show us saving $50 from the "list price" of $399. The list price is in fact $349 - we are therefore saving nothing. Which I am fine with since it is new, but feel the claim of savings is deceptive.

Looks like its where you want to be, I see $114 right now at Amazon but I have also seen cheaper last week elsewhere, I guess price is subject to fluctuate.

Not sure. It costs $8.99 at Costco warehouse. It seems like a really high mark up.

True. We bought the one at Costco for $500, and added the Dry Blender for an additional $100 (as well as the spice pack for another $20) (rounding up on all prices). Basically, our out the door price was $657 with tax. Also, since we bought during the demonstration, we received the full 7 year warranty on all items purchased that day. A much better deal than what is being reflected on Amazon, but this requires a Costco Membership, and attending one of the live demonstrations. My wife has been wanting one of these for years, and the demo convinced us to finally make the purchase for her birthday. True.

You're right, the price fluctuates frequently and randomly. I snagged it about 4-6 weeks ago for $550 free shipping (although not 2-day) and of course, no tax. But there seems to no reason or pattern to their price of the unit. I recommend patience to save a couple hundred dollars -- if you can wait it out.
