for those that don't want to click the bait:
costco is (apparently) selling one-ounce gold bars on their website at about market price. silver coins as well. you have to be a costco cardholder to buy, and stock sells out about an hour after it is refreshed.
in other news: down is up, water dehydrates you, and the sun is travelling backwards in the sky, west to east.
If they're being sold at market price, why don't people just buy them elsewhere? Is it hard to buy gold at "market" price?
As a retail consumer? Probably.
