I am not a Costco member, but considering becoming one. How much is the bundle at Costco?
And would anyone be so kind to tell me which of the Edges on amazon would be the right link to send a hint to someone? I am not seeing the difference in the $379 and $319 list price, there must be something! Thanks.

FYI, you do not have to be a Costco member to order from Costco online. You pay a little bit higher percentage if you are not a member, but if you are not going to shop there much, it may be worth it.

They come 3 different ways - 1) the Garmin with a HR monitor and a speed/cadence monitor 2) the Garmin with the speed/cadence monitor and 3) the Garmin with the HR monitor.
The Garmin is the same in all 3 packages, just the accessories are different. If you get the one that only has the speed/cadence monitor you can add a HR monitor later.
I just looked on Amazon and it looks like the one that has a $379 list price (but is actually cheaper than the other one!) does not have the speed/cadence sensor. If you scroll through the description part there is a small section 'What is in the box' that will help. They do not make it clear at all.

The Edge 305 + HR and Cadance is currently listed at $274.49 on Amazon ( you have to click to see the price).
Just FYI

Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...
Looks like it (Edge 305+HRM+Cadence) is 269.99 at Costco
the same is 274.49 at amazon:
the model without the cadence sensor is 244.92
Just got mine last night... WAY cool to be able to have accumulated elevation as a field.

P.S.,
For those of you that have just ordered an Edge, you might want to have a couple of spare 2016 batteries around (the round ones slightly smaller than a nickel.) The battery in my HRM was dead when I got it and the one in the cadence sensor was too weak to function (though it lit up the lights on reset.) My first ride out with it was to get batteries, with zip ties hanging off my bike. But it tracked my elevation gain.
So much nicer than the forerunner!

Thanks everyone!! I want the one that does it all but I couldn't figure it out. Maybe I shouldn't try to decipher this stuff half asleep.

Well, I broke down and bought one too..... at this price I just couldn't say no!
Helped that my extended family had another graduation party for me yesterday, so I was able to justify using some of my haul from that to buy myself another toy that I TOTALLY didn't need
Looking forward to using it on my first century in 2 weeks!
My birthday is next week, and I was just visiting my BF -- and noticed the Garmin rebate form on his desktop... maybe I can join in this conversation in a week!
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
My birthday isn't for another month but I just ordered one.
I found a great deal on Amazon, and with the $75 PowerBar rebate it comes in around $175. Sweeeet.

Before you buy the 305, check out the newer models!
The REI price is $399.00! I like ordering from REI because of their replacement policy...they just gave me a brand new replacement tent on a 2 year old tent! with NO hassle! But the price on Amazon is soooo much better.... If you get a lemon from Amazon would you have to deal with someone there or would you just go through Garmin, anyone know?
