This guy’s telling us the Costco golf ball story like he’s unearthed the holy grail. This is known.

He’s right about Costco using the same OEMs in China. Like with the golf balls, don’t let your OEM manufacturer use your designs to build putters for a competitor (like Costco). Patent the design. Sue anyone who copies it. Costco’s taking advantage of a premium product’s poor supply chain management. And as Costco has demonstrated, the product isn’t worth the $450 it sells for if they can sell the same product for a quarter the price. So no only did they pants the putter maker, they then told everyone he has no pants.

They are? They're paying those vendors for product. how is that ripping off? -- nm - Remlik Oct 24, 08:53 2
- Costco’s not ripping anyone off (that’s the assertion of the Twitter guy). Costco’s using the system to their advantage. -- nm - Mop Oct 24, 09:05 1
