They quote Moscow-Vladivostok at $162, 2nd class.

You can see the availability, and, when you request details on the train, you can see the tariffs. For example: February, 1st; Vladivostok-Moscow, yields two results: train number 001M and train number 251Э. Total travel time is 150 hours for the first, and 173 for the second. The tariffs: 4060.9, 6091.3, 7111.3, 13308.7, 15342.7 for the first one, and 1922.6, 4060.9 for the second. All costs in rubles, 1922.6 is 3rd class, 4060.9 - 7111.3 2nd class, 13308.7 - 15342.7 - 1st class.

I found the official Russian site for the tariffs, but for some idiotic reason you have to pay to see those prices...
So I wanted to know; has anyone of you (either Russians or foreigners) ever travelled by Trans-sib? How much did it cost? How long did it take?
If someone could answer these questions I'll be much obliged.
(mind you, when the time comes I will gather my own information, but for now I only need a rough estimate)
Thank you,

Очень рекомендую включить в свое путешествие Байкало-Амурскую магистраль (БАМ). Хотя бы небольшую часть, например от Северобайкальска до Тынды.
