Why would each Costco store get 2-4 units each? They would be a waste of time for Costco. Why dedicate space for a product that either sells out 4 units then takes a week to replenish or doesn't sell any units. What would more likely happen is that a region of stores would get larger quantities and if they did sell then Costco would roll them out to more regions.

How do you know Costco won't buy them at that price? You don't, actually. When they see that dealerships are selling them at $500 a pop? They pay $200 and put them out for $229.

Won't matter anyhow because Costco is not going to buy product from an unknown and unproven company at his point in time. Costco will only join the party if hundred of thousands of units are already in the marketplace.

They run them on a guaranteed sale basis for one-two weeks. SB takes back all the unsold units.

If Costco shows a sell-through at 85% or higher, they reorder the item and keep them on display. Each store would only get 2-4 units each.

The item is on the floor for about 2 weeks at a time tops. AND THE PRICE IS NOT ADVERTISED.

That's how it works.
