True but you can never have too much I guess. I'll probably be getting my last load soon. Will twisted my arm to split Joe's last 1.2 ton skid of North Country with him. He twisted pretty hard
Gooood.... Gooood... Now we can deploy our double secret price gouging plans. . Lousy's secret blizzard machine came came in handy this season.
Are you other dealers coming to the strategy meeting later? Don't forget, if we order too much, we cant raise our prices to those folks who have "pellets as their only heat"! Lets see how bad they want 'em! And don't forget the new event this year, girls wrestling in a pool of the tears of people who only buy from the BB's! We throw in a bag of pellets and watch them go! Even bet on the outcome! Then, we compare profit pictures and see who has the most outlandish markups...gonna be tough this year though trying to beat summa those Craig's List markups! We then strategize on how best to keep pricing high for the summer/fall. Twas a stroke of genius getting the oilfield folks and the horse folks to use pellets in the off-season, thanks to Artc! Martin Shkreli is the guest speaker! Cant miss that! I am still tweaking the blizzard machine, I guess I'll know how the modifications worked after this storm.
Heard on the news the other day, they were interviewing an ACE store manager, and he said that people were stocking up on pellets. No one was grabbing salt, sand or shovels yet, but pellets were flying out the door. Meanwhile, in my town, TSC still has several tons and Aubuchon's has the same 15 tons or so that they have had in the parking lot the last 3 months (at $6.50/bag for GS & Inferno Golds).
Local TSC ran out about a week ago. This past weekend, they put pallets of TSC horse bedding out for folks to buy individual bags. Then yesterday when I drove by, they had pellets in stock again, go figure. HD and Lowes are pretty much out here too. Starting to think they don't want to do a $99/ton deal again this year!
Just like the folks rushing to the grocery store right before a big storm as they'll starve to death if they don't fill the fridge. Storm will be over in 24 hours, roads plowed, temps in the thirties and the storm will be a distant memory in a week.
the thing is, there is no shortage of pellets on the manufacturer's side.....I picked up at one yesterday, and they had thousands of tons (quite literally)! Its what I alluded to with the BB's and tears above....the world ending since HD had no pellets.....they choose to have none.
I love those... especially with the unlimited shrimp cocktails, and lobster mac and cheese for lunch! That $187/ton profit adds up quick!!! Very simple strategy. Dan
Haven't gone through 4 ton yet and there is 4 ton sitting in the garage from 2014 shouldn't need any next year.
The modifications seem to be working GREAT - now please turn the dammed thing off, Thank You Very Much.
I understand the mean old (and young) pellet fella turning on the BBBRRRrrrrrr machine, BUT The snow machine is completely uncalled for. Besides I bought 3 more ton from a dealer od pellet heat just last Tuesday. So I do not deserve this blizzard barrage.
