: Actually, Costco is notorious for dealing in the grey market;
: ie. Callaway golf clubs, Oakley sunglasses, etc. all of
: which carry no manufacturer warranty. However, from info
: given to me by my cousin, a Costco supervisor in SoCal,
: they have one of the most liberal return policies. In fact,
: he relayed a story in which a guy returned a used,
: weathered barbeque, and they took it back, no questions
: asked! Because they deal with so much volume due to their
: many stores and large inventory, they can bully most of the
: grey distributors in that space.

: Would I buy a serialized Omega from them and put this open
: return policy to the test? Yes, but they didn't have the
: SeaMaster Chrono so bought it at Ashford at a 37%
: discount!!

: I wonder what Costo does with used, returned, and god forbid,
: internally damaged Omega's? I wonder if they just put them
: back into stock? Hmmmmmmm. . .
