Wallace, You may be right. I don't buy watches, I don't eat meat, so can't comment on these. :-). Books I buy used on Amazon.com - never paid more than $1-3 per book + shipping. Even better, since I read mostly SF&F stuff, I sometimes order bulk from local online merchants and pick it up at their place instead of paying shipping costs. :-) (I guess I am value investor after all :-))) Yearly fee is good to shareholders. I can bet that if a serious study was made, lot of people won't recoup it, as it is with yearly gym fees. Also it psychologically MAKES you go to Costco even though stuff may be available in more convenient places. I can't understand why the store keeps the fee if all people recoup it. E.g. I would try the store if there was NO fee, so presumably they would have more customers?!?! And as Buffett said: "if after three rounds you can't understand who the loser is, it's you", so I don't go there. :-)))) Jurgis - just MHO, your mileage may be much higher. :-)))
