Costco would sell a couple dozen to several hundred iPod Classics, Nanos, and Touches, all in varied condition, as a "lot". At best you could buy these based off of a grade, which just judged their physical condition, but most of the time you were always buying these a couple dozen at a time, sight unseen.

Oh my, I didn't know this was available. Who usually buys these? Third-party refurbishers?
You have to be a business in the state of Washington and sign an agreement with Costco. It isn't a thing they open with anyone and when I inquired about doing this on my own, even with a license, I was turned away at the door by security.

Pretty sure it is a shady arm of Costco.

Why is it shady? It's just like Amazon Warehouse Deals or Apple Refurbished and Clearance, but Costco only sells in bulk
