The automated weather station Jeremy bought is one of the higher end ones, and it ended up costing him about $700. He paid a couple hundred extra for a few bells and whistles that don't come with the standard model, like fan aspiration on the temperature sensor and a wireless connection for data transmission into the house. So I think that would make the standard one around $500 or so. I know there are some other stations out there that you can get a lot cheaper than that even. It's kind of cool to have sometimes!
