Secht posted:Did anyone use the Co to buy a car? I noticed some service is included with membership and just starting to weigh options. As a dealer that is part of the Costco Auto Program, it's just convenience. The company Costco contracts with for the auto program asks the dealers for pricing and compares it to a regional benchmark. They just make sure the individual dealer is actually discounting the vehicle and within a certain range of the benchmark pricing. Dealer controls pricing and you can easily get a lower price by working it between dealers on the phone/email if you've got the time. jisforjosh fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Apr 28, 2019 |

Im Ready for DEATH posted:How do they teach millennials to become pushy car salesmen? Is a steeper learning curve for the shyest generation, or are there just some dudes who dont give a gently caress? I just manage the online sales and digital marketing aspect so I'm not the typical car sales persona. As for the others, some just don't give a gently caress, some are way into the self help poo poo which is the same group as salesmen, and the others just can't afford college and they can make way more money this way.

Im Ready for DEATH posted:A lot of the dealers around me will straight up tell you that they don't email prices. You have to come into the dealership to discuss. So then you can't do this method. Lol what dumbasses. Seriously the modern shopper wants as little hassle and is going to shop your price regardless. Not giving that price will effectively remove yourself from that list. Just this last week I had a customer negotiating with me completely over text, came in and signed, total time in the store? 30 minutes. It's a rarity but it's happening more and more. Note, not a luxury brand dealer.

priznat posted:My Costco renewal is coming up and debating continuing with gold star or going up to executive. We had exec in the past but the money back coupons were a bit of a pain because I’d always forget to bring them. Or even forget to use them if I had them in my wallet all tucked away. How long ago is the past? Because I know they changed the threshold for the money back on Executive at one point in the last couple years. It no longer made sense for us (just me and my gf) to pay the executive membership when we stopped clearing that new requirement. Edit: Costco is on the other side of town for us and we have HEB which is nearly as good when it comes to deals and employee treatment.

Taima posted:Costco has $5 off right now when you buy any 2 selected Kirkland brand liquors. That is a crazy insane deal if you are into mixing spirits. $15 a handle for the gin and the blended whiskey. They are basically paying you to drink hooch at that point. And the quality is actually very decent as a mixer. *cries in Texan* loving TABC

priznat posted:I always wonder about those robo vacs, would they be ok with pet hair if you start off with a vacuumed floor and have to maintain? Or would the output from 2 mid size medium length coat dogs and a long hair cat kill them even still. We've got 4 indoor cats and a dog that's inside at night. Hasn't killed it yet but we run it and empty it daily and clean out the rotor brush maybe once a week? I don't think I'd ever spend the extra money to get a WiFi-enabled, Smartphone app controlled ones but the lower end ones have done fine by me. Been especially impressed with the eufy 11S. MSRP is around $230 but you can usually find them on sale in the $170 range.

A Pack of Kobolds posted:Counterpoint: the meat from the largest lobsters is comparatively bland and mealy next to those in the small-medium 1-1.5 lb range. This is extra funny because you can charge morons more money for an inferior product because they are impressed by the size. Completely wrong. Larger lobsters get mealy, tough, and bland because people tend to overestimate cooking time due to their size. Size of the lobster does not affect flavor in a meaningful way

EVG posted:My local gym has a toys for tots box that is depressingly empty. Is Costco a good value for new, non-plush toys or would I be better served at a TJ Max or someplace discounted? I don’t have a ton of funds but wanted to prime the pump and hopefully get a few more people guilted into donating. Some of the best deals I've seen for toy purchases for drives like that are at Walgreens oddly enough.
