Waiting for me in my e-mail in-box this morning, I almost fell over when I opened the Costco.com "new items and suggested buys" tab on their homepage. But am I just falling for a marketing marvel to get me into
their super stores? Very clever...
The mass-retailer, and purveyor of topless shopping carts brimming with a cornucopia of "must haves" including trendy funeral urns and caskets, is counting on our bottomless wallets-- they're selling Pablo Picasso's "Picador in a Bull Fight," an original crayon drawing the modern art master created in 1963. The price? $145,999,99. Click here to see the Costco sale item. If someone in Los Angeles bought the piece they'd be paying $12,000 in 8.25% CA state sales tax.
Standard shipping via UPS Ground is included in the quoted price-- just in case you are wondering.
