New England (MA, CT, ME, NH, VT, RI) Blazers

New Hampshire I did have 15 tons but sold some on the secondary market

Is that you still selling them on CL?

But even you have to admit, that was a fluke buy...
That is not Home Depot's "regular" brand.. So it isn't their "regular" price..

Heck, they were $60 cheaper a ton last year at their regular price in NH than what you paid this year for your "pre-buy" special. Transportation costs didn't go up that much from last year to this year.

That's awesome how many tons did you buy. I can only speak to the prices I have seen around here in mass even going back last year. My first ton ever burnt was green lacking supreme and I paid 239 for a ton. Then awf white pines showed up for 259 per ton. When I first started visiting this site I realized there were much better pellets out there and I started researching. The only prices that went up for pellets in my area were big box store pellets this year and they are selling gs for 279. All the other retailers I have visited robbins garden pellets r us pellets direct squier lumber and south shore wood pellets have all stayed in the same price range they were selling for last year. With that being said 299 for blazers was a no brainer for me at pre buy given what big box stores are selling garbage for. Blazers are now being sold at the retailers i memtioned at the prices relative to their other premium pellets. If blazers show up anywhere for 60 dollars off per ton than what I paid I will be renting a uhaul

... I figure last year they didn't lose any money on their Blazer sales....
so I'm curious why they are so much more expensive this year, especially for a big box store?. ..

Your answer is in the first part of your sentence.

Didn't know they sold all those tons of Blazer pellets at $220 and then $239 last year and were losing money doing so. I am not a business person but to my understanding, merchants charge more for their product than they pay for it. How much $$$ were they losing a ton?
