Default KMP @ Costco?

Who needs Ebay?

Pick up some steaks, sample the new foods from the aisle hostesses and pick up a Cobra and some goodies to go with it.

Check it out: Costco Kirkham

Default What is Costco's return policy?

Lets say your wife hates the thing and tries to take it back to Costco when you are at work?

They forgot to mention it has a trunk for that lifetime supply of paper clips from Costco.

Now I regret giving up my Costco card when I left Calif 4 years ago.

Maybe that's why there is such a long wait for CSX cars - Shelby is secretly building up a huge stock for Kmart's big announcement. Talk about your blue light special!!!

That is a good deal, all of the other stuff is worth $50k so you get the complete KMP for $29k.

A friend of mine even had a suggestion for a new model from Kirkham, the Costobra.

Just like Sears uses "Kenmore"....Costco's house brand is "Kirkland"

(I know that because I complained to my wife that my jeans had the same label as the paper towels. )

So..."Kirkland"... David... making special emblems?

I think we should all read the fine print....at Costco, you have to buy everything in bulk or in large containers. That means that you either have to buy a pack of 4 Kirkhams, or one really large Mack Truck sized one.

I can just picture Jdog walking out of Costco with an alloy body in his cart and a sh*t eating grin on his face.

This isn't the first attempt by Costco to enter this "market." About two years ago they approached SPF about marketing their cars in Arizona Costcos. SPF turned them down.

I, too....er..."WE" are happy Costco customers, as well. But, did you ever notice how Costco seems to be bordering on "cultish" behavior...? I mean in one visit to my local Costco...after first proving I'm a "cult" member...I can buy batteries, digital cameras, TV's, get my film developed, buy kitchenware, buy printer cartridges, tools, motor oil, car care supplies, crab legs, pastries, bread, meats - prepared and fresh cut, produce, any kind of drink - including beers, both import and domestic, furniture, lawn equipment, books, frozen food - of any kind, dishwashing soap, coffee, tea, milk, cleaning products for the home, kitchen, and bathroom, toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates, toothpicks, napkins, t-shirts, toys, bicycles, basketballs, golf clubs, hats, blue jeans, shoes, socks, belts, underwear, dress shirts, coats and sweaters, flip-flops, snack foods, prescriptions, OTC drugs, deodorant, shampoo, cigarettes, cigars, and too many other things I know I've missed....

Then....on the way out you can refinance your house, order a car, buy some tires, make a home loan (first or second mortage, thank you), buy storm windows, siding, or a roof, arrange a cruise, make travel arrangements to any country, buy insurance...home, health, life, and auto, get investment advice, and get a hotdog, Polish sausage, pizza, soft pretzel, ice cream or a smoothie.

Finally, after you've returned to your car from your safari through the Costco jungle, on your way out of the parking lot you can fill up your car, or get your oil changed.

DAAA-YUM...if this isn't a "cult" what is...? What's next...medical and dental care? Haircuts? Holistic healers? It won't be long until religious ceremonies will be available in the chapel.

I think Jim Jones must be secretly running Costco from the beyond...
