Hello Dick & Chad:
Attached is a video that I made that takes you on a tour of a “Job Lots” store. This is Ocean State Job Lots, a style of store that I’ve only ever heard about since I started watching the old giz wiz shows from the 80/90’s on TKR. 
This is just a quick tour and voice over of the store that is semi local to me in Freehold New Jersey. Thanks for everything. Ivan Hahn

Turns out, Job Lot has lots of stores. Here’s their store locator:

Hi Dick and Chad,
I’m wanted to do a video on this ION Glowtive Outdoor Lantern Speaker I purchased from Costco last month, but didn’t have time. It’s on clearance right now so I wanted to send this over for others to see before it sells out.
Here is the product link (it has a short video if you want to play that.)
https://www.costco.com/.product.4201012808.html
I purchased it for $39.99 when it was on sale in August. At the end of the month it went back up to the normal $99 price. However, I noticed stores have it on clearance for $19.97 (see attached photo).
We’ve used it a few times on the patio and it has worked very well with decent clarity and volume. It also has a feature that allows you to sync up to 100 of these speakers together for synced sound. Although, the reviews state that this doesn’t seem to be as reliable for some people. I only bought 1 so I couldn’t test that. It also has a feature that syncs the light to the music so it pulses to the beat which is cool. The battery lasts about 12 hours and it can’t be used as a charger like some of the other similar Bluetooth boomboxes that last 24 hours. At $40 it was a good price for what it is, but at only $20, it’s a steal for anyone that wants some outdoor sound. Plus, if you do have issues with it, it’s Costco so you can always return it.
Take care, Steve
It was out of stock at the store Steve bought his at, but the chatroom said it was still on sale at some other Costco stores. https://www.costco.com/w/-/locations
