“Yes, but when we load them on the site, they’re typically gone within a few hours and we limit two per member.”
According to the information available on the Costco website, the company has been quickly selling out the one-ounce gold bars. They are selling the one-ounce 24-karat gold from South Africa Rand Refinery for $1,949.99. They also sell from Swiss Supplier PAMP Suisse for $1,979.99.
