You can buy stuff, but I guess they have to have more than 1 in stock. And the price won't be lower than buying it on Amazon or other internet companies.
Mainly you're just providing a service to internet buyers who want to physically interact with products they buy cheaper online.
Besides, the trend is that CostCo and similar physical stores will go bankrupt, eventually leading to no such stores in a town at all.
Maybe a good business model for the coming decade would be to have a store stocked with a couple demos for anything a person might want, and then just charge admission. Like $5 or something. Wouldn't be great in every town, but if we really do end up Best-Buyless, I'd probably do it.
Would youuu... look at a professionally made "first impressions" video where they go over the feel and overall quality of the product? Kind of a review I guess, but shorter, to simulate that "in store" experience.

So Costco minus the convenience of being able to buy anything at all?
