Dish does not sell it's receivers, you would need to go to a local retailer or an online store for pricing if you want to buy one.
Why purchase though? Your monthly cost will not be different if you own or lease.
The only advantage is that if you purchase, there will probably be no 2 year agreement. So, you could leave Dish at any time; but, you are now stuck with this receiver you now purchased.
If you lease, and leave early, you have to pay an ETF ... so depending on how far into your 2 years you are ... you could end up paying less by leasing versus purchasing the receiver.
Dish does not give you any incentive or reward when you purchase that I can see.

I have personally sold a 311, a 501, and a 625, for more than I paid originally. So, the residual value of these receivers is not zero. Of course if you wait too long to resell, as I did for my 301 and 4900, they do become worthless.
