And this sale price happens very often. I had to buy 2 off sale. Then went to Customer Service and talked to them about it. Being an Executive Member, I didn't need my receipt, they looked it up and gave me back the difference, $140.

The only advantage I think Costco has because you pay for a membership. You get an extended warranty almost free. If you buy the warranty at Walmart. It could end up being a more expensive purchase. That’s why I buy my OLED TV’s from Costco. They usually upgrade the warranty and if I had bought the same TV at Best Buy I would spend more money on warranties when Costco offers the same warranty and service for free in a sense. Yes there is a yearly membership fee at Costco. The membership fee end up paying for itself.
