If they are not making enough of a profit on each one, then the advanced security and the process of ordering them might not be worth it. On each bar they are probably making only $1-$2 because people are not going to pay $10 over spot when it is easy enough to get them off JD Bullion and other only shops.

Speg, as I mentioned in your first Costco video.... Costco is violating the law by charging tax on the bullion (on purchases over $500).

How many people were outright cheated by Costco because they were incorrectly charged tax on their purchase ? This is a class action lawsuit just waiting to get started. Contact your state tax authority and let them know what's going on.... or get a lawyer to explore initiating a class action lawsuit. This "accidental" taxing of bullion must not be ignored.

My local Costco in las vegas Never has the Gold or silver bars Other Costco in Town does get them But they sell Fast

[@Jmcevolve2023]

Well the land of the free kinda buy as u wish. Studies show big box stores push out the little guys. This is a perfect example Costco sells it cheaper but also they are selling non American product. I kinda disagree I love supporting LCS and buy American silver and gold. How about anyone else

[@keithwizzard1722]

the lcs is one thing but all the big guys like apmez etc deserve their future battles with costco

That tax break combined with your discounts really makes bullion investing attractive. Nebraska just ended all tax on gold and silver, I will be buying some now. Thanks for the video

@@Spegtacular I used to work at Kmart 2000-2006 we had one store manager who would only leave his office only to go get something to eat from the K Cafe. then when his boss the district manager was supposed to show up to do a walk around and point out everything wrong. he would just go home early the DM had to show up unannounced one day and force him to do his job.

The best reason to buy precious metals?.. I grew up in the 50's and when I was a teen I paid .25 for a gallon of gas and I paid with one of our everyday quarters that were made of silver. Today you can still buy a gallon of gas for .25 if you use one of those silver quarters if it was minted prior to 1965, although you have to sell it to a coin dealer to get dollars for it's current value. The increase is due to the silver content, not numismatics value. I sure wish I would have kept those that I got back then. The silver has kept it's value, Dollars, not so much.

I don't buy precious metals from Walmart or costco. They might be counterfeit. People are learning the hard way that they can't just easily sell their precious metals to a different actual coin dealer because they don't recognize it. So the people are stuck with counterfeit metals.

Buying silver is the worst investment ever and paying retail price for it, it’s insane however buying it with a Credit Card is __________(I can’t say it because is against KZbin guidelines)!
