You returned it against the clearly stated policy because it dropped, what, like $10? You know the price of gold will fluctuate, right?

Sometimes I wish Costco wasn't so lenient and stood firm a little. You're just taking advantage.

Maybe I'm being naive but I find this hard to believe.

Something like this being shipped and Costco wouldn't have double and triple checks in place to ensure the product is going out correctly?

And they are shipping overnight with signature required via UPS. I know sometimes the delivery person might be faking a customer's signature and leaving it at the door but that's not the norm.

Late to the game I realize, but serious question for next time....

For resale value, is it important to keep it in the package? I'm thinking of an investment/fidget use case. Possibly an expensive and idiotic idea, but it's heavier than Tungsten and holds its value. Assuming it's not stolen first....
For value I would definitely keep it in packaging.

For Fidget use, I don't know if you've held 1oz of gold before, but holy shit it's heavy you need 2 hands to fidget that around lol... I can't see you using one hand and a couple fingers to fidget this thing, massive hand fatigue... Or maybe you are 7 feet 10" tall.... Maybe you can pair up with our friend above and use the high ROI lawnmowers as fidget spinners!!!

Brought a smile to my face, never ever ever expected someone wanting to use a 1oz gold bar as a fidget toy lol..... I would say if ur going to fidget try to get a 1gram pamp bar, 1oz is wayyy too heavy!

I purchased second one based on the similar calculation and thought we can get 5.25% CB on BOA card. But I plan to keep it as a collection.

But that 5.25% BOA is only up to $2,500 per quarter right? That's blown on half of your first order....

Huh??? I'm doing over 20k consistently all month every month what are you talking about?

You do know they release a mix of bars, coins, and sizes right? I'm easily clearing 20k a month. I'm Executive Platinum on AA with 780k loyalty points this year thanks to this. I don't think I can do that with $100 bulky lawn mowers.

Sometimes they release bars worth $6300, so one order alone is $12k, with the average order being $4200 at least 5-6 times a month on the low end you do the math, I'm doing 20k a month with my eyes closed I'm blowing past that.

So in your example, I can buy 60 huge mowers put them all over my house (assuming I can even buy 60 of them) and then become an eBay mower reseller and make a bunch of trips to the ups store to ship them? I mean it sounds like a great setup for a low income gig earner for a side hustle I guess but that's a shit ton of work and storage space.

I'm putting 20k+ sometimes over 30k worth of tiny little gold bars delivered to my house and then I drop them off at one place once a month and all 20-30k++ worth fit inside my tiny Fanny pack…. Talking about ROT, "return on time" compared to those lawn mowers. I hope you rented a U-Haul for the month and a storage unit so your wife doesn't kill you for having lawn mowers in the kitchen pantry!!

I'm signing off, it was fun, but your examples are ridiculous and you have no bearing on either the gold markets or the Costco gold sales, because I'm easily clearing $20,000 USD in gold and many are too.
So this is a real dumb question, when you say it to the local dealer, do you have to report the really hefty tax if there is a profit ?

I think you are right. I separated them in different calendar quarters. But it does eat up most of the quarter's limit for one card. We have a couple of same cards in our household so we can rotate other online purchases.

Is the lunar new year dragon one no longer restocking?
I was fortunate enough to pick one up when the deal was posted here around mid November. It is indeed very beautiful looking.

I'm not doing it for profit, I try to break even. I stock up to 20oz and sell. I'm not trying to make money and get rich quick, this isn't for that. I am doing it personally for AA Executive Platinum Status via 250k/yr CC spend.

I have a local buyer in my city.
This is a dumb question, but I keep seeing 20 oz... 1 lb is 16 oz... a kilo is 35 and a bit... Know any reason why 20 oz seems to be the universal unit?

My order status showed "shipped" but I called UPS and they said we haven't received the package from Costco. I called Costco customer service, and they confirmed that the item was shipped. I'm not sure what's going on, What happened to my package?

Based on posts from previous threads, it appears that the shipping / tracking labels are generated in-house and marked as shipped once that happens, but aren't always handed off to UPS immediately. That's one of the complications with communication that has come up more now that places print out their own shipping labels before the physical transfer occurs. I'd watch the tracking to see when it's first scanned into UPS possession. I believe that has taken a few days in some instances. These are probably a bit of an anomaly when it comes to their standard shipping practices due to both concerns about security and timing shipments in such a way that they never have inventory just sitting around.

This bar did not come in any sleeves unlike the Dragon one. That was inside a matching nice red sleeve. Wondering if others had same experience. Thanks.

Same, I think the dragon one is in red sleeve called red envelope, it's a Chinese new year thing, that might just be the design for that purpose

Looks like the Lady is back in stock at $2049 today if you missed it before …

Also, it's always best to keep them in the packaging to get top dollar when reselling, but the majority of the value is in the bar itself, so it's not going to have a huge impact overall. Here's one dealer's take on it …
