To do that APMEX would need to open a few hundred Costco accounts, since there is a 2 bar limit, so by the time they did that and pay for each membership I doubt there would be much savings for them.

I personally don't think thats going to be the scenario, but if I'm wrong, you're welcome to say "I told you so". Then why gold? Why not? Its a small part of my investment, it holds value and protects some of my money from inflation. It's also easily portable. Things that have utility in a "SHTF" fantasy are great, but they're not the be all, end all. Guns, bullets, food and water are all great, and everybody should have them in case of emergency, but the idea that they're going to be the currency of the new post apocalyptic world just doesn't make sense - it only makes sense in a SHTF fantasy scenario. Stockpiles of guns, bullets, food and water are logistical nightmares to manage, defend and more importantly, move. 100k rounds of ammo? Great, but what happens if you're forced to relocate? The people in Maui had minutes to throw on some clothes and make a run for it. Same with all your food and water and other stores. I don't think anyone thinks its a good idea to sell everything you own and convert it to gold. Buying some is just a diversification of assets. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 2 lifetime, or 2 during the "in stock" period? In stock period. And the post above is correct, each cardholder can buy 2, so if you have a membership and your wife has a household member card, you can each buy 2. I think next go around they're going to have different bars available, Rand Refinery mint. They came up on google as a Costco product but only show up on the Costco page for a second before it shows out of stock. It's the same with the PAMP Suisse bars, so I think they're just keeping it as a placeholder until they're in stock and up for sale. |

I got mine delivered today. The veriscan seems to be an apple only app so I didn't try that, but it looks good and some guys on reddit tested one with a sigma and it was legit.
Either Costco made a good buy and caught the bottom of gold prices 6 months ago or they are just selling these for razor thin margins for some reason. One theory is they are selling them to increase sales numbers on the website or for the whole company which could be true. Just over 500 bars is $1 million in sales. |

JMB offers $3804 for these. You lost $4. Now look what that gold bar was worth a decade ago. You don’t buy gold to try to flip it a week later. You buy gold to hold its value over cash in the bank. Stocks can be similar or even better, but more risky. Gold is a safe place to park money for longer term. Buy a couple bars and in 5-10 years sell them to someone. Or don’t. |
