I just got the 505 for $139 at a Target, too! I was kicking myself for not getting it earlier at my closest Target. There were two clearanced at $199 for the longest time, and I think it dropped down to $70 because they were gone pretty quick. The sticker on the box still said $249 ish and the sales associate wouldn't take scan it to see if the price was lower. Luckily I have the DCPI number and checked at their machines and it was $139. Not as great of a deal as $70, but it's so worth it. I'm surprised just how great the build quality is. I've never been that impressed with the non-working demos in stores, but this feels different.
