That's actually Costco's entire business model... There is zero margin/markup on any product in the store... 100% of their profit comes from selling memberships... This is how they can keep their prices so low.


Wrong. They run at a 10% margin.

I don't see how that could be possible.

I thought it was 15% but anyway it's a low margin. Many retailers work on the key. Or 100% mark up. They set at 15%.
