Sub-Zero Dips Toe in Costco CONFIRMED
Submitted by advisor on Wed, 06/25/2008 - 4:04pm.
The Sub-Zero free standing wine storage unit model 424FS/G is available at both the Oak Brook, IL and downtown Chicago (Lincoln Park) Costco locations with a list price of $2750, about $600 less than UMRP. Is it just us, or does that seem expensive?
These units are not listed on the web, nor available in every Costco region (there are 6). The full extent of availability is unknown.
Wringing out an overstock perhaps? Dent and Ding units are unlikely. A distributor dump through Costco is unlikely. Evidently whatever the driver, independent dealers are having a hard time squaring Costco availability with the mandatory floor plans and rules of UMRP that they do business under.
We said this kind of thing couldn't happen. Don't we look silly.
