This basic 5200 sells for $449 plus shipping. I just got one, the same one at Costco for $394.99. It was a special week long event with the vitamix demo going on with it. Don't know if its a regular item there.

Comes with the latest and best container and lid. I think it was worth it.

I bought a re-conditioned 5200 which is a tiny bit cheaper. I LOVE it. I used it everyday. It really does a lot. Mine came with a DVD too which gave some operating tips.
