Costcoing

Weird title I know.

This idea comes from a college student who put himself through school by selling merchandise from Costco through Ebay.

How did he do that? Well, I'll tell you!

He would find something on the Costco site he thought was cool.
He would then list it for sale on Ebay with the minimum acceptable bid as the price he would have to pay at Costco.

He then listed the shipping price as the price he would have to pay to ship it.

When someone won the item he would get their payment, order the item from Costco and then have it shipped to the person.

Fast, easy, and no inventory.

What a cool idea.
