Check this out for high price:

(broken link removed)

Rod in Oakhurst, you can send all your greedy nasty customers to this ready source. Been without for two weeks and ordered a truck from PA. When there are three or four major manufacturers within 750 miles. Now wants everyone else to pay for everything and make more than you do in profit.

 

[HarryBack]

of course, no bids have been placed either.

 

[jimkelt]

There is just no good reason for this... Still no bids when I looked- Good!

 

[elkimmeg]

greed I hope no one buys them.

 

[MountainStoveGuy]

people sold snow on ebay from colorado. Someone on the east coast paid $250 bucks for 12 snowballs. Someone will buy them.

 

[Xena]

That's funny right there! :lol:

 

[MountainStoveGuy]

It was on the local news, they actually sold enough snow on ebay to buy a new snowblower. This was when the east coast was in a heat wave and colorado was getting pounded.

I too, hope that no one buys those pellets, but you watch, someone will.

$10 per bag?? At that price I would go back to electricty...

 

[PutnamJct]

Can anyone get a real idea of what shipping a truckload from PA to CO really costs? A truck load at **retail** at my local dealer would cost $5698.

I seriously doubt it costs 5K to ship 1 trailer of standardized pallets from PA to CO...............

20x10=200.00
20x25=500.00


I think he wants you to buy the pallet for 500 snooks, then it would be 25.00 a bag!

 

[MountainStoveGuy]

we usually get hit for about $50/ton from 1 state away.

 

[hardwood715]

sorry now i see its 20 pallets still this guy is nuts!

 

[MountainStoveGuy]

thats how many he has, he is selling them by the ton. You get 24-26 tons per truckload.

 

[PutnamJct]

Here's his other auction for the great low price of $8.75 per bag.

Sorry, I am a big defender of pellets stoves but if I was paying that, my insert would be a fancy anchor........

 

[MrGriz]

The pellet issue just amazes me. There is a Pellet stove shop about 5 miles from my house, he has pallets and pallets of pellets (say that one five times fast), advertising $3.49 per bag.

It amazes me that there is such a difference in supply and price, depending on the location. I can understand some fluctuation, but the swings are huge.

HMMMM.....maybe a good time to list some on ebay....$0.01 per pellet (puls shipping of course)..... ;-)

 

[richg]

Just to be a pain in the @$$, I want to bid on it....the auction title states "20 Pallets of Pellets"....so, I would bid with the understanding that it was for 20 tons. $499 is not bad for 20 tons, you know. Guy has 187 auctions and says his feedback is 100% positive. Sure. right.

 

[GVA]

The classic of that first guy is in his picture it shows the brand of pellets................PENNYWISE.......... :lol:

 

[crouse77]

The bags pictured are Pennywise brand pellets. They are the same pellets that Menards in Iowa were selling last week for $3.58 a bag/ $179 a ton. He got screwed if he paid $10 a bag.

 

[stoveguy2esw]

this guy is out of his ($^%&$^$&* gourd "shipping price from PA is 9 dollars and change??? maybe if he had each bag shipped ups seperately. no bloody way! then he is acting like he is going to start bidding at "break even price " of almost 500 bucks a ton. incredible. anyone flat out stupid enough to bite on this one deserves getting *****. i saw some of this last year with the shortage i thought is was petty as *^%*^% then , and i think it is more so now. what a moron!

 

[hearthtools]

My trucking cost from Canada to central California is $2,400

its $50/ton in the area.. so a truck from one state over is 2k. i think that he is way overstating the cost as well, but there is no real data to be had, no pellet retailer buys pellets from across the country.

 

[bcnu]

Glad to see those are in "new" condition. I'd hesitate to bid on the used ones.

 

[mgambuzza]

The price definitely contrasts with the manufacturer's (Pennywise - www.marthwood.com) sites comments on its product:

" Our 40-pound bag is easy to manage and will provide 20 hours of continuous heat for only a few dollars!"
