Next time, instead of buying, take the idea home. Think about it first.
They’ve really got it all!
What costco is this? They tend to tailor their stores a little to the clientele. Mine sells a lot of instant ramen. What neighborhood is this, ElonMusktown?
Tangentially related; Tori Amos has been touring with a Bösendorfer for ages. If you enjoy the piano, you should give the songs linked on the page a listen.
… and that’s why I even know Bösendorfer as a brand.
At least one of her touring pianos is a custom job that has extra keys on the bass end.
How much off for the floor model?
Costco Syndrome: Go in for a pack of gym socks, come out with a 9-ft television and a trampoline.
Two trampolines, got to get the value pack.
If it said $180,000 I’d say no…
But $179,999.99 that’s a bargin!
It’ll still cost you $180,000 though, good luck getting a penny back these days.
If you sweet talk the clerk she might round it down to 179,999.95
I’m so glad my parents bought me a $50 electric keyboard to lose interest in…
But that price is for a 6 pack, who needs 6 grand pianos?
As much as people joke about stuff like this, a University’s music program or something could probably take advantage of something like that.
At work, we used to get the discounted NetJets subscriptions (still like $15k) from Costco because it was a crazy good deal and we would charter flights for some emergency issues where it made financial sense to use a private/charter flight to get on-site faster because the issue is costing $20-50k/minute of downtime.
Sure, your average person isn’t taking advantage of those deals, but someone does or else Costco wouldn’t offer them.
I thought I was asked to join a sex tent, I didn’t really know what the pianos had to do with it but I wasn’t gonna say no.
I appreciate this joke very much. :)

You know, you think that the first time, but if you go for it (and have the storage) you’ll be surprised at how glad you are to have them!
My problem is that I fall for it every single time.
I can barely afford the storage building payments for all of these pianos.
I don’t know what I’m going to do if I end up falling for it again.
If they have one with the additional low octave I’m in
you can see the little flap I think that you can lift up to get at it

You know what, if I was one of the 10 people on earth who are in the market for that Piano, it’s a bit of a steal…!
I honestly wonder if their generous return policy extends to something like that.
Unfortunately, pianos come with strings attached.
Honestly, don’t buy a piano unless the strings are attached.
This was a wild thing to see at my local Costco.
Well when you buy those hot dogs on Klarna it lets you keep enough liquid to pay for that piano in cash.
