Costco has an Aerogarden unit online. I had checked while shopping at other
Costco's and found that there were none in the warehouses where I visited.
Not seeing Aerogarden at a lower price than 'retail,' I started thinking
about a new one for myself and decided to investigate how different this
unit was than a similarly priced one.
From what I understand, the price is not listed by Aerogarden as it is not
available from Aerogarden. A. will be coming out with a similar unit in the
future, but will not be exactly the same, leaving me to understand that this
is a unit available at the present time only at Costco.
Comparing, I find that I'll probably not buy the unit at Costco, as is my
usual M.O. It is $169.
I am wanting a longer stancheon so the produce can grow taller, which would
add another $109 to this price ($278), and another $30 for a trellis, which
would make it $308; whereas I can buy this unit for $230 as an all-together
unit.
While I'm writing about this, I am wondering about products such as this
that one sees on ebay that are 'NEW' and are generally priced the same as if
one bought them directly.
