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?
You could always buy your gold at an airport vending machine.
I thought that was only Kuwait or Saudi Arabia that had that...are there silver vending machines too?

If that's true, I hope you managed to get your Au back when it <$300/oz...or at least <$1000/oz! I can't imagine gold has much more room to grow in value and if anything I'd think it'd be far more likely to have a bubble burst. I know you think silver is a joke but that's all I can afford to collect...I mean the cheapest way to collect gold that I know of (the kind where you can collect a yearly sequence) is the 1/10 oz gold eagles (dime sized)? and those are what, $250-$300 each or so? For that much I'd rather fill in silver dime/quarter/half holes in my albums or check off silver eagles or maples from my list or maybe even get what, 3-4 of those proof eagles in the fancy packaging?

Putting Costco's gold sales into perspective, their profit margin on those sales is less than 2%. Meanwhile, their TTM PE ratio is 60 and forward PE is over 40.
Always has been an expensive stock
I manage money. I earn money. I save money . I give away money. I collect money. I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
They also raised the maximum purchase to 5 rolls per transaction from 2 rolls.
and slapped a 1 transaction per member rule on it
I don't believe it's being enforced like the way it sounds. One can have additional transactions at a different time.
I've never had a problem buying over the limit in-store doing 2 separate transactions on the same account.
I think @derryb can confirm this based on a prior post of his, assuming he used the same membership account.
The Au is currently $2013. Costco went live with Maples again at $2069. With max 4% rebates (-82.79) net price $1987. Under spot for a govt issued ozt of the Au. RGDS!
P.S. Oh shitteee its the '24 charles version. New item was wondering why it let me buy again, different item number. THKS!
Any yet blitzdude says you can't make money on silver
Carry on...my local G&S store is higher than Costco.
I got mine last week at $609. I wouldn't pay $630 for a roll of gutter. Personal choice obviously. RGDS!
P.S. Costco has been selling cheaper than all the dealers and with the potential of 4% rebates it was a no brainer. They have slowly been raising prices and I would expect soon they will be right in line with everyone else. THKS!
I was never a fan of the final portrait of the Queen on the Maples but I can say she certainly makes for a better obverse than her son Chuck. Thanks Costco. RGDS!
2% executive membership, 2% costco citi card = 4%.
Personally, I don't have the Citi card but did upgrade to the executive membership, so I am getting 1.5% back with Capital One and 2% executive = 3.5%. RGDS!
Looks like some items are hitting the clubs, found the Pamps at my Costco this evening.
An employee told me the Pamp Lunar Dragons were in a nearby location about a month ago.

Figured they would be hitting the warehouses soon. I'll have to check next time I visit but I am almost 70 miles from my "local" Costco. I only visit every few months. Hopefully they plan to stock some AGE/AGB/GML etc. THKS!

That's a good distance for a Costco run. I just returned from my local Costco (about 1 mile away) picking up my buffalos and they still have the Pamp bars priced at $2099.99, the employee said they sold 4 and have 15 left.
I like the convenience of having Items shipped to Costco for pickup, and not having to wait around for the UPS driver. My last order was placed on the wrong truck and arrived at 8:00 p.m.

They do ship fast. received the buffs today, order placed on 2/29 as well. Glad Mrs. Blitzdude was here to sign. I had a service call in the big city this morning and actually went right by my local warehouse. Totally skipped my mind to stop and see if they were stocking anything in store. Hopefully I remember next time. RGDS!

First gold I've seen available since the recent run in spot prices. Looks like they've now accounted for it.
Yep $200 higher than when they were selling them back in mid-February. Still under spot with rebates but personally I avoid bars like the plague. RGDS!
I was in my Costco a few hours ago and they still have the Pamps for $2,159.99, ($2,073.59 after 4% rebate).
A little over a $100 under current spot! Looks like that price was set on 3/6 according to the price tag.
I was tempted, but I'll stick with the coins!
Eagles are live, looks like Buffalos will be coming up again as they've just updated the price on my watch list. Holey Moley, getting a nosebleed up in here with these current retail Au prices. RGDS!
got one of these ugly mugs last week for 2089, just one day before gold spiked up.

Looks like at least a few people who don't know how costco prices stuff. LOL. Saying they are getting "greedy".
Costco has a set % they go for and with PMs, availability and pricing changes. Costco has to roll with that.
Now, as for these gold bits...I can see the SAEs but never can see, online, the GAE nor the Gold Buffs. Sucks. Oh well.
looks like the damaged coins were a result of tubes opening up during shipment. My costco silver tubes remained sealed during transit, they were properly packaged.
The only way to make an economic system truly stable is to permit the free market to take over.
I bought 3 tubes of Maples. Luck for me they arrived intact, but the tubes were just rolling around in the box and not secure at all. I can see how they could easily open during transit. They also shipped out of NYC so in my case the route was short and they only had a couple hundred miles to travel. RGDS!
