Look on Ebay if your shopping for one of these, I just bought a Kitchenaid
Pro 5 with the bowl lift in Onyx black for $140, which is at least $100
less than the best price I saw at retail. If I would have settled for a
weird color I could have had one for around $100.
The machine is supposedly a factory refurb, and it came sealed in a box from
Kitchenaid saying factory refurb and includes a refurb 6 month warrantee,
but I will be darned if I can see anything that looks less than brand new,
it came with the three standard accessories ( paddle, whisk, and dough hook)
and it makes great dough.

For some reason EBay is full of them right now, just search for kitchenaid
mixer and you will find plenty.
