Act Now! Supply is Limited!

Costco is selling another original Picasso. This one goes for $129,999.99 and I'm wondering if the price is because some sort of tax or insurance fee kicks in if it's $130,000 or if someone actually thought, "Hey, let's knock a penny off and make it sound a lot cheaper."

Last time they did this, the web page had the little Costco "quantity" window on it so before you hit the "add to shopping cart" button, you could specify that you wanted two or three or ten of the item. This time, they don't have online ordering but I like the fact that the webpage includes this announcement…

Costco.com products can be returned to any of our more than 400 Costco warehouses worldwide.

Almost makes you want to buy the thing just so you can take it back, go up to Customer Service and say, "I'd like to exchange this for 268 sets of snow tires and a box of frozen calamari."
