Quoted from Darscot:If I can drop 4K on a whim like that I'm at least plugging whatever I want into google.
Maybe the un-pinball-informed Costco customer sees the Stern SW home pin there and uses his phone to google it. He finds the Stern website and sees the higher prices for SW pins on there but does not distinguish any big difference between those and the one at Costco. The Costco pin looks like a bargain to him so he buys it.
Quoted from wlf_:My ex-wife's second marriage only lasted a matter of months, so maybe two inches does make a difference.
So you were the second husband?
