Costco Bargain ???!!

Options
Costco have an egg timer for sale in their jewelry section - instead of sand it has 35 carats of diamonds in it.

A mere snip at £10,000. :eek:

But why!!!:confused:

    I might get one for the mother-in-law. Was looking for a triffid, but this seems to be similar money.

    I took mine back. Chap at the shop said "What's wrong with it?" I said it's faulty, it keeps going off before the egg is done, in fact it goes off as soon as you take it out of the box. "Prove it" he says. So I unpack it, show it to the bloke, he takes one look at it and says.......
