    There is a large spread in what people can make don't you agree? Pellets Direct selling DF for 309 is certainly making money. Rogers selling your DF for 370 is certainly making money. They may or may not be the exact same pellet. Time will tell I would think.
    There's a lot of in between. If pellets are your only business you better maximize your profits one way or another. If it's a small portion, like the boxes then they will do what's best for them which is get you through the doors to buy a large profit item. It's a tough world, not just pellet business. Best to keep cost down and be able to adapt quickly. Or its game over.

    Went on a little hunt of my own today and picked up a few bags of these premium pellets from AgriRecycle. I have passed them by in the past, and then regretted it because folks generally seem to make favorable comments about them? First bag going in tonight.

    TSC in Leicester. They had these, Pure Fires, and Instant Heats. The thing I like about that TSC location is they keep their open pallets indoors, out of the rain. Actually, the best TSC I've ever seen in that regard is the one in Coventry, RI. They have a gigantic covered foyer, before you enter the front doors into the main store. Best setup I've seen for storing large quantities of things that should remain dry.

    Branson if you do get the answer to this mystery, please come back and enlighten us? Our future pellet purchasing fate lies in your hands.

    Hang on...In the last picture, the pallet closest to the camera, I spy a couple bags of Okie DFs hiding down there beneath the mountain of NCs!
    Cripes Branson, did you buy out your local North Country distributor or what :) Love it!!!
