It’s not the first place I’d check for precious metals, and I’d think they would tighten security. I’m assuming they don’t have it out on big shelves like the books and clothes.
Yeah and, just for the record, my birthday is June 7. You know … just sayin’ … 
I have some nice coins that are…kind of gold. Ish. And chocolate.
Aw, I would be kind of grateful … ish. 
Gold is not for everyone. I bought 5 coins as a sort of lark 15 or 20 years ago, and they were turning me into Gollum. I fiddled with them all the time, often carried one around as a little thrill. I sold them after finding one in the washing machine after doing laundry - it would have been such an idiotic way to lose a bunch of money.
I think I’ll stick to bacon. I used to collect silver coins and had a stash of gold at one point. Finally sold it all. The only gold I’m interested in now is the gold boxes that Irish butter comes in.
But do I have to buy a whole case at a time?
They have a roll of 25 silver coins for $650.
Forget the gold, if you’re running to Costco, could you grab me a 40-ounce jar of flame roasted Hatch Valley Green Chiles? And a giant box of that manly flapjack mix with the damn grizzly bear on the front?
Saw this on the news today. The reporter mentioned the cost is decent, in that Costco margin at about 2%, and gold has easily surpassed that growth in value over the last year or two. However, they mentioned it may be difficult to get a good price when one wants to sell these little bars, so the investment potential may be blunted somewhat, unless you can find a buyer who will pay more. Another aspect of making gold a consumer commodity easily accessed at your local warehouse - I am sure people who have acquired a sudden, large amount of cash are conveniently trading in those dollars for these little bars.
So Senator Menendez has a Costco membership?
I remember Sam’s Club selling 1 oz gold ingots back in the early 1990s.
I’ve heard that at the Dubai airport you can buy gold bars from a vending machine. Although I guess it’s more like an ATM than a traditional vending machine.
And upon further research, I misremembered the location – it was located in the lobby of a Dubai hotel, not the airport.
And while I was searching for that, I learned there’s one in Las Vegas now, too.
Presumably, you’d only sell when the spot price rises enough that you can get a decent return on the sale. And Costco already sells fine jewelry.
