Message:: [QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 24866414, member: 71510"]It's been a long time since I've posted.  I had some issues that turned me off the hobby for a long time, but I'm slowly getting back in. For those wondering, Costco does sell out quickly.  I've now bought 3 ounces of gold from them.  All Pamp Fortuna bars in separate orders.  They deliver in a day or two - and require signature.  I had a local coin shop validate them with a digital tester.  They are real, they are legit.  There was no sales tax on them - California of all places and I made sure of that.  As we all know, there's no sales tax on transactions over $1200 for investing in bullion.  I'm not buying eagles at a $6 premium - but you can try adding them to your cart with 3 tubes and see if you get sales tax applied. They had 100 gram bars from RAND literally for $10 under melt at the time, and by the time I added one and went to checkout - they were sold out. It's one of those things where if you look daily in the morning, you might get lucky.  But I can confirm that they are legit. Bonus tip - for Costco executive members, you do get the 2% cash back added to your account and you can buy on a credit card.  So I get 2% on credit card purchases, 2% for Costco cash back - and saved 4% on each purchase.  I was literally able to flip them immediately to a local dealer for a small profit. Happy hunting![/QUOTE]
