This isn't aimed specifically at Mario, but at Costco members in
general...
I went to Costco this evening only to find out what I had suspected,
but never confirmed: you need a membership. Well, I briefly considered
purchasing a membership, just to get the 4x4 for $50 but decided that,
given that I'm nowhere near a Costco and that since I haven't ever
needed to go to one for any reason before, it simply wasn't worth the
$51.75 ($45+tax) membership fee. So I'm wondering...
Could some kind-hearted soul take pity on me and pick one up for me? I
could either meet the person specifically to pay them for it, or I
could pay them at the next dinner or Train 3 or whatever is
convenient.
It would be deeply appreciated.
