Softwood Pellets at Benny's in RI for $8 per bag.

[escobarmj]

I wonder how many bags they will sell at that price? I am not familiar with the brand, and they are softwood. Seems weird when you can get a gallon of heating oil for $235.

I hope not many. That is $400 a ton! There are a few people selling pellets on craigelist for this price and this is NJ were you could get pelletsalles would deliver for less. It looks like people are tring to take advantage of the fear of a shortage.

 

[escobarmj]

To me they are taking advantage of peoples ignorance. Assuming they are actually selling anything. The free market will take care of the problem. Those pellets will sit until the price drops.

Shame is, there are always sharks circling the waters waiting for the weak

Believe it or not people do buy them. My local Ace
Hardware has Lignetics for $7.49 a bag and I see
people buying a few bags at a time. Some people
are occasional weekend burners and/or are heating
a room that they don't use daily.

....when you can get a gallon of heating oil for $235.

WOW...that's the most expensive oil I've ever seen LOL...OK, OK, I know it's mis-typed...i just couldn't resist, especially after the $8/bag pellets

 

[flashbang]

Here's a deal.
http://longislandpelletfuel.com/prices.html
Only $8.95/bag. "Buying in bulk will save you even more money!"
Of course with prices this low delivery will be extra.

Yeah, that's quite the "deal"....are they out of their Vulcan minds???

 

[tinkabranc]

WOW! I hate to see what they will be charging for a ton in December.

Can you imagine Tink? And what about in January when it's 10 degrees outside?????

 

[tinkabranc]

I am speechless! Are they Golden Pellets??

 

[Panhandler]

"Only $374 per ton". I think they've been smoking those pellets.

 

[BubbRubb]

Should we start a club for those of us that are savvy enough to not overpay for our pellets?

 

[imacman]

Hmmmm...the "Cheapie Pellet Pig Club", or the "Are you smarter than the average Pellet Pig" club? :lol:

 

[tinkabranc]

And that $374.00 does not even include delivery - Saving what?
Let me save you by cleaning out your pockets for you

My stove would become a cast iron plant holder for the winter if I had
to pay those prices for a one month supply.

edit: I like the “Are you smarter than the average Pellet Pig” club? :lol:

LOL...good catch

I have some pet rocks and fake cell phones I can dig out of the basement......maybe Americans are in a big spending mood.
:coolgrin:

I still think that 1 pound bags of pellets sent by air mail might have a market, or 1/100th shares in a Harman stove.

Just another reason why I have little respect for the pellet industry. There was legitimate reasons why oil suppliers charged high prices up until recently but this is grand theft.

Mike,

Were these the bags that had the M M on then with the pine trees I saw at the Coventry Benny's in September? If they are they didn't get a very warm review on this forum, and for $8/bag they should be the best thing since sliced bread.

True, that is an outrageous price, but (unlike the oil suppliers that DID have you by the b****), no one is being forced to buy them. When he gets no offers, the price will come down.

Thats it. The bags had the pine trees on the front. I am sure they still have plenty.

Hey Mike,

I just noticed in your signature that you have 4 tons of pellets...if you picked then up yourself in a pickup truck or with a trailer, you're eligible to be in the Pellet Pig Club....

Just thought I'd mention it...OINK!
