Costco is reportedly selling out of a shiny item each time the item is listed for purchase online.
The wholesaler offers gold bars on its website, from which members of Costco can purchase the investment.
"I've gotten a couple of calls that people have seen online that we've been selling one-ounce gold bars," Richard Galanti, chief financial officer of Costco, shared with investors during the retailer's fourth-quarter earnings call.

Members have two options to choose from when making their purchase: South African-made Rand Refinery and the Swiss-made PAMP Suisse Lady Fortuna Veriscan, according to Yahoo! Finance.
When in stock, the 24-karat bar of gold from Rand Refinery is available for purchase for $1,949.99, while the Swiss supplier, PAMP Suisse, costs $1,979.99.

"Let me start by saying, this is an outstanding deal and the product itself is of impeccable quality," another reviewer wrote.
"What sets this product apart is the Veriscan technology … The ability to scan and verify the product's legitimacy is a feature I greatly appreciate, considering the prevalence of counterfeit items in the market," the same person wrote.
The cost of a one-ounce bar of gold on the open market is worth $1,825, according to Markets Insider.
