Aj, Que pasa, man? Costco sells lot's of stuff...just usually in large quantity. They also sell Pentium 400 and 450 machines...HP printers,,,Dom Perignon and other such stuff you deem "junk". From time to time they have boats and cars in the showroom. They average about 10% mark up at best and make the real money selling memberships... They have deals on rental cars and are even getting into the real estate business nationwide... The average joe just wants a deal and the right to bring it back within' 30 days, no questions asked...the later part is why I buy stuff at the large retailers when I can... Jim
