No different then the apmex stickers they slap all over the place to get an extra $20. Mint direct=Bull S
But the Costco sticker is much nicer than APMEX's mint direct one.......I like the eagle image on it. I'm in Canada, so on my next visit to U.S. I would see if I can get one tube from Costco.

aren't their bullion sales online only?
Are they really this stupid, or are they destroying the dollar on purpose?

Really! I have no idea! Never been to U.S. Costco before. But in Canada I see they sell Gold coin inside Costco.
Mint direct is like the extra sticker they put on new cars....$500 for a $50 set of locking lug nuts, $500 for $20 of 'sill tape' bs, same for tint and the ever so worth it $500 for nitro in the tires....you breath nitrogen and a tank that would fill a car lot is less, since they don't air out the tires and just add PSI to whatever the factory shoved in the tires and you get like 7lbs psi added, which messes up your driving with over inflated tires.

looks like you have to purchase online with a pickup or home delivery option:

Oh no....That means I cannot get it even if I drive there.......
I guess I have to start making friends in U.S. so they buy me one then ship it to Canada.......
I have reservations about Costco offering gold bars and to a lesser degree silver eagles:
You have a pool of novice buyers, at least some of whom will be buying on credit. Some for the extra points, but some who simply don't have the funds to drop in full troy ounce or even 50- or 100-gram increments.
You have either zero advice from online sales, or virtually no advice from in-person sales.
You have the inability to make returns in an environment where people might not realize this policy.
You have no two-way market: Costco will not buy these items back regardless of market movement.
Then there is the indivisibility of these larger vehicles, both at the purchase and the eventual sale.
Extremely high entry point for dollar cost averaging.
The limitations of bars (or Maples) in assay cards.
So there is the real potential of novice buyers who can't afford these items but buy them due to excited impulse buying, who will potentially be facing sales under stress, who may turn to We Buy Gold places to sell. May not be a recipe for disaster, but it's certainly not optimal by any stretch. The market has been doing pretty well recently. But we all know the music could stop and the bottom drop out at any moment.
It's great if you are sophisticated enough and have the $$ to drop on these. But they hangover could be severe.
We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last. --Severian the Lame
I don't have any reservation about costco selling them. The prices are fair and people can do what they want with their money. Better than some folks going into certain dealers and getting ripped off. There are some fair dealers and some that will take advantage any way they can. Costco goes into things with a set margin and offers real things. Good for them.
If I can catch them in stock, I'll buy a roll of 2024 from Costco.
Okay thanks all for your replies. Just posting this with no obligation to reply.
Who would help me get one sealed tube (tax free & same price as Costco) with Costco invoice or the delivery sheet? (need that to resell later on in life to proof that I got it from Costco U.S.).
I'm willing to help you get anything from Canada (tax free) in return any time in the future.
I would be paying you via PayPal (friends & family), then you ship this tube to me to Canada via USPS International standard tracked.
Again no obligation here, take your time and think about it (no rush from my end).
If you would help, then please reply to this public message, then we can message privately to exchange emails after that. I would post a picture of the tube in this thread later on once I get it giving credits to the person who helped me.

FYI, Costco is selling the 2024 AGE.
Bummer, they must of not lasted long. I don't see them when I log in. Interesting I can select show out of stock items and they still don't come up. Starting to wonder if they list by region. Even though I missed it thanks for the heads up. RGDS!
They didn't last long at all, I made the mistake of logging on to CU to post the heads up and when I returned to Costco's site to purchase they were gone. I don't know if they list by region, but I'm here in AZ if that helps. If they do pop back up tomorrow and I'm able to get them I will definitely have them shipped to my Costco for pickup since that option is available for the AGE. The Mapleleaf I ordered 3 weeks ago didn't offer warehouse pickup and turned out to be a shipping nightmare, not because of Costco, but UPS... in the end I did receive it.
I did manage to add the AGE to my Costco shopping list.
Thanks for the heads up.
Even though I bought two a few weeks back it allowed me to buy two more. After the 2% rebate (41.60 per coin) for using my Costco Citi card I got each of them for 15.60 below spot.
Are they really this stupid, or are they destroying the dollar on purpose?

Hard to beat getting the Au below spot, especially with where the premiums are elsewhere. Took some getting used to purchasing the Au above $2K but it appears to be our new floor. Would love to catch those AGEs in stock. CNGRTS!
PS: I really need to think about the Costco Citi if they are going to keep selling PMs. My cheap a$$ may even need to upgrade from gold star to executive. Since relocating to gods country I'm 80 miles from the closest warehouse so it was hard to justify the upgraded membership since I now go so infrequently. RGDS!
Costco Has PAMP gold bars now at 2079.99, let me know what I am not understanding correctly. If I buy one bar I pay a total of 2,079.99, as an Costco executive member I get a 2% rebate, and if I use my Costco Citibank Credit card I get another 2% rebate. So my cost after rebates is 2,079.99 *.96 = 1,996.79. Gold Spot is 2,049.68, so the bar is 52.89 under spot. I know the limit is 2 bars, and nobody gets rich on this, but this sounds too good. What am I Missing. Thanks

Ah the joys of a Costco membership. Best thing since the $1.50 all beef 1/4LB hotdog combo. As mentioned above take it while you can get it. I suspect it's only a matter of time before bullion becomes excluded from rebates/rewards just like it has everywhere else. RGDS!

You can contribute that to Costco marketing strategy to acquire more customers (for now)...... But As "blitzdude" mentioned above, a new Costco director would come and might change this policy to exclude bullion from the rebates.
Never seen the Buffalos, I was hoping they would eventually be selling them.
Do you happen to know if the Buffalos were for sale today? Thanks for putting that up!

Yes just saw the Maples again. Bring on those AGEs! THKS!

No not Saturday, they were earlier in the week, Tue or Wed I think. Hopefully they will list them again. Would be nice if they would list at alternate times. Hard for a working man to catch during normal business hours. RGDS!
Why would Costco of all places be selling silver and gold? Isn't this the sort of thing you should get at a REAL gold/silver dealer who actually knows the product and knows what they're doing?

Rolls of 2023 Gutter currently available $519 each. For some reason if I clicked on the product it looped me to the 2024's which show out of stock. I had to access from my saved list to see the 23's Direct link might help: https://www.costco.com/.product.1799373.html RGDS!
P.S. It appears they were gone almost as fast as they were listed. Please don't tell anyone I just purchased the gutter. THKS!

Yes, 4% total rebate will be received.
So this special label is exclusive for Costco only? I like it.
after market stickers. If someone who has opened a fresh box of 2024's, they can confirm this.

How is that expensive when APMEX is selling the tube for $663!

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Do you have to pay any sort of tax on it in your state?
yes on state sales tax unless your state has special exemptions on PMs and coins. In FL I paid no sales tax on the costco PM purchase.
Are they really this stupid, or are they destroying the dollar on purpose?
No taxes on PMs here in The Commonweath. Still not sure why they consider gutter metal a PM. RGDS!
