Yamaha 2000W Generator - Is This A Pricing Error?

Just was at Costco and always looking for the deal. Yamaha 2000W (1600W continuous) generator for $499.00. That's the best price I've seen on this by about $200. Have they come down that much or is...

Generator part doesn't require much of design or high-tech manufacturing.
I would put value in engine.
Coming to comments about phooney Honda, I have 20 and 10 years old Honda engines in equipement and they start on the 1st pull after filling them up with fresh fuel.
Brand new Sportsman generator with "OEM Branded" engine will start on 3rd pull ... when I am lucky.
I did own some equipment with B&S engines and ownership always ended with blisters on my hand from rope pulling.
