I live in Canada…bought a few oz from Costco, delivered to my door no problem., as I can’t purchase at warehouse directly here in the province I reside in. When looking at prices in USA at Costco , there is a significant discount to what we are paying even with the currency exchange…about 30$ a bar. So I thought I’d call a Costco in a bordering state and go see if I could purchase a few bars. The Costco I called stated they were sold out…and that they sell out very quickly, almost immediately…told me to check back periodically, but they don’t know when they get product in stock. Long winded reply…citizens are starting to stack bouillon…Costco sales is a tell that society is getting concerned and buying bouillon as a hedge. Just an honest real world account of my experience and observations

In Canada it has to be 99.5 percent pure or better. So no eagles, sovereigns, roosters, centanarios, etc etc. all you Americans would do well to remember that fact. If the need should ever arise you need to bug out to Canada, your gold eagles will be worth less to sell than maples or buffalos because shops will need to charge 13% hst on them.
Online Costco has silver and gold coins all the time. But they usually sell out pretty quickly so you have to be fast. I've bought both some Maple Leaf and Silver Eagle rolls lately when they had 'em. And Costco did the calcs right and I paid no sales tax as it's not taxable in my state. Also get the exec and credit card cash back so it's cheaper but not as cheap as the bars. Still haven't seen any physical silver at any of the Costcos I frequent.
Here in North Texas, they told me to do the same exact thing about the silver. So I call 19 stores, 8 every other day.

You can go to your local coin shop and get great prices. Plus it's better to support smaller businesses. Be careful with buying silver and gold in heavy weights because you might have a hard time selling it at the local coin shop because that's about the only place you will be able to sell your metals when you need to. You bring a several hundred Oz bars into your local coin shop and they'll know exactly what kind of a Costco Shopper you are and they'll beat you down on price

This is because you're buying a product made out of silver you're not buying or exchanging currency for currency this is why I tell people you need to buy silver eagles or Gold Eagles additionally if you go to sell that bar and it appreciates and value the person who buys it say a pawn shop or some other entity has to report the purchase and who you are to the IRS that means you've got capital gains to pay if you are using Gold Eagles or silver eagles is just an exchange of currency if that Gold Eagle went from 2,200 to $5,000 the buyer has no obligation to report anything to the irs because they are just exchanging currency for currency

A sales tax is imposed on retail sales in California, but bullion product sales exceeding $1500 are exempt from the state sales tax.

Bullion sales under $1500 are subject to state and local taxes, which vary from municipality to municipality.

On the phone with one of the Texas stores, a manager spent over 15 minutes talking to me. Very nice guy. It is true, only certain stores get either gold or silver, this store only gets gold bars, he has been there for 3 years. He did say -all is determined by corporate, he will get an email saying in one hour or so, your store will be receiving this gold bar delivery, normally in a quantity of 16. And of course, the limit is 5 per purchase. But not all stores get precious metals and something from corporate is driving the type and quantity to each store. I am wondering if I can contact corporate somehow and ask if I could have a certain amount sent to the store closest to me? And I have never seen 5 or 10oz silver bars online. have you?
