At the Costco were I live there's Panerai for 20k. If someone has the cash to buy that there why can't they just buy it at Panerai on Madison ave?

Because the same model on Madison Ave will cost $27,000.

On average they sell watches at @20% off - sometimes a bit more or less. The one by my home always has Tag, Breitling, Oris, and other various brands and models with the occassional Omega, Rolex, Chanel, Panerai, etc.
plus mid and lower end watches like Michelle, Anne Klein, Michael Kors, Tommy Bahama, Casio, Seiko, Invicta, etc.
It's a no-frills warehouse store - mostly selling in larger quantity. Costco is also a great place for TVs and other electronics, not to mention tires.

I know but if you have 20k to spend on a watch I don't think you worry about discount at least I wish I would have that type of problem.

well if I was going to spend 27k on a watch and found the exact same one elsewhere for 20k, it would be a no brainer for me. who wouldnt keep 7k in their pocket?

I'd save the trip to the fancy store to save 7 grand, they do have some very good pricing but you need to know your pricing first cause its not always the deal it appears to be.:sub4me:

rich people stay rich by making smart financial decisions.

they could easily spend $40k on the same watch if they wanted....but why when they save 7k on the same item

rich people also use coupons and bargain hunt

I have family that work there and, dont tell anyone, and they say their return policy is pretty rediculous. They no longer carry apple products because of it, but you can return non electronic things there, years after purchasing. They even tell me people lie all the time and say that the food that they purchased was spoiled, brought back just the barcode and get their money back.
