$40 for some screw in weights. Costco making a killing
Not very they're making a killing on these, or any product (see below). Their corporate earnings are largely from their membership fee, not as much from actual sales.
"Unlike the typical 25 to 50 percent or more markups at most retailers, Costco caps its mark-ups at 14 percent for outside brands and 15 percent for Kirkland (in-house) brands. But in many cases the markup is significantly lower, which is why the average mark-up across all Costco products is 11 percent."

thank you OP. how did you know they were back in stock? I usually check daily but is there an automated way for Costco march?
regarding the cost for the weights, while it seems like a lot when you compare the prices to weights from other club manufacturers this is a screaming deal.

I didn't have an automated way to check for inventory. I have the putter but have been checking regularly for the weight kit to customize the putter. Just happened to find it was back in stock while buying something else on Costco.com. Cheers!
I never had to deal with weights on my putter, yet I can sink a 30 ft putt.. booyahh
A little off topic but I switched to a putter with a Pure Roll face and it really helped me sink putts, especially after watching Marius Filmalter putting instructions on DVD and the idea that your torso is a pendulum and don't use your wrists.
Pure Roll and similar faces really save me strokes. I do wish to one day not need it .

Well I've been waiting for it as well .thank you !
So this weight kit will stop me from 3-putting from 10 feet?
No. A bigger hole in the ground will though. I never see the putter in stock so am just going to wait until the putter's available, then this even if it has to wait. Besides if I can blame my misses on not having the weights, I'll get a stroke on the greens when I play.
