Am I the only dumbass that didn't know if you have one share of BRK you get a special price on NFM stuff for a week?
Well, you are the only one I know that didn’t know. It’s sometimes a shockingly good deal.

If you own BRK they send you a notice that you can request shareholder credentials for attending the meeting. You just show them to the people at NFM and they get you the “good” price quote. Also it’s like the only time you can get certain brands (Apple for example) cheaper.

I haven't went through the whole process but online to see the price you register an account and turn on the toggle. I went until the last step of placing my order and nothing popped up different but maybe it's post purchase? I also called in to special order a piece and the guy just looked up my account and said yup you are registered for the special pricing.

This is my fault.  I bought a share a couple of days ago so that I could FAFO with the discount stuff. 

My bad, guys.   :frown:

I am not paying attention to this. But was the special price essentially a way to disincentivize selling Berkshire stuff upon the news of his retirement?

Supposedly annual. Assuming it was to capitalize from the Omaha meeting to push product. Got until Tuesday if you want in.
