FYI: Be sure and see the thing with your own eyes first. I checked for the 505 using the aforementioned website and it said it was at a Target in a neighboring city. I called them and asked if they had it (the associate said yes). I then asked simply how much it is. He checked and said $70. I asked him to double check and make sure and he said yes.

So an hour and a half later I'm finally in there, get my hands on the unit, whip out the credit card and to my dismay, the thing rings up at $239!!!! I explain what happened, and all anyone had to say was "I'm sorry, that's how much it is." Even after explaining all the driving I ended up doing, and the conversations, et al, all I got was "sorry".

So anyway, don't even go by what they tell you. Grab the stupid thing, put it to a scanner and see for your own eyes. Apparently the associates can't be trusted over the phone.
