"Here are some Pellet Equivalencies of One Ton of Wood Pellets:
190.0 Gallons Heating Oil".


Well we all know that's bs. More like 120 gallons of HHO.
This asshat is comical! I love these ads that have been
popping up on CL.

I too will offer a ton of pellets at $762.50.

Here are some Pellet Equivalencies of One Ton of Wood Pellets:
1.9 Tons Green Wood
190.0 Gallons Heating Oil 190 x $3.98 a gal. = $756.20 of Fuel oil
180.0 Gallons LP Gas= 180 x $3.09 a gal.= $552.00
17.0 Million Btu Natural Gas

Like you, I have been looking high & low for wood pellets, as of this afternoon we were totally out of them. However, I was able to secure 3 more ton today but at a price! I am doing every thing in my power to get the product to my customers at a reasonable price. I have been able to secure only a limited amount of WOOD Pellets this year. Things have been so scarce and expensive, please understand I don’t control the cost - The good news is that these are Premium Ultra Low Ash Pellets in 40 lbs. bags, so they are easy on your stove & make less ash then the cheap pellets and are easy store and move around. The Cost is $379.99 a ton or $200.00 a half a ton $8.50 a bag if purchased separately. I am also willing to consider a trade 1 ton of these Premium Wood Pellets for 2 ton of Dried Corn that has a moisture content of less than 15% and is bagged in similar sized bag.

must be your computer...I just looked at the ad.

Link works fine from here too.

I'm amazed about this ad's.
We had one here in NY for $470/ton. And was made up like it was a real bargain.
One would think that due to the low oilprice that Pellets prices seem to be going down too,
but it's just the reverse.
I guess there are a lot of *&^% out there. On either side of the game.

That dude who is advertising definitely needs to put down the pellet crack pipe!

Our friend from Boston is back at it again trying to sell this thing as if it's new:

Rap, that ad cracks me up every time I see it...."lightly used"....... That thing looks like it went through a nuke attack during world war 3.

And the corrosion on the exterior plate that's ready to fall off is "lightly used" too ROFLMAO

I feel sorry for his customers. Craigs list brings out the best (I am doing every thing in my power to get the product to my customers at a reasonable price.)
(I am also willing to consider a trade 1 ton of these Premium Wood Pellets for 2 ton of Dried Corn that has a moisture content of less than 15% and is bagged in similar sized bag.)

Wow! That stove looks like it's been rode hard and put up wet! YIKES! 2 tons my hinny! :smirk:

BWAHAHAHA! He has got it out on ebay now too! :lol:
Now he is trying to sell it will all piping, the pad and 20 bags of pellets.

Come on people- it's in excellent condition and hardly used...
The auger and blowers are probably rusted solid in place so it can't run anymore..

Least he could have done is clean it up before listing it.

Dang, I'd like to know how someone manages to
beat the crap out of something that stands still
inside the house? Not like it's something that
is exposed to outside elements or anything, wtf?


Lol on the ebay. WHAT an assclown this guy is! http://cgi.ebay.com/HARDLY-USED-HARMAN-ACCENTRA-IRON-PELLET-STOVE-PACKAGE_W0QQitemZ160295285502QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160295285502&_trkparms=72:1208|39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Hardly used!

I'll take it if you can send it to me prepaid shipping 2nd day air.

I wonder if the Harman that was for sale in Lowell for 4 grand ever sold

Hey cut the guy some slack. He is just following the lead of the former Governor Elliot Spitzer. What is 800 bucks for a ton of pellets when you are buying hookers for 4 grand. One is a bad as the other. Just like the hooker them pellets sure must have some sort of special talent....................................May be they will burn all winter long or something. It sort of reminds me of that polite Nigerian banker that keeps emailing me trying to give away all that money.

By hardly used, does he mean he took a dump on the glass, beat the crap out of the stove with a metal pipe, and artificially rusted the connections? Oh wait, then he sprinkled some sort of fairy dust all over it to make it all better. Even better... it has one offer!! I really hope that one lowballed the asking price!!

I just e-mailed the guy on this stove:

Did you post this as a joke for $3100? I would offer you around $500 for it if I lived next door and could carry it to my house. Have fun with that one. Tip... try cleaning things up a bit before you sell them. Makes it a little more appealing. I might trade the washer and dryer and an old air compressor I have sitting in my back yard for it if you like. They are hardly used also.

Anyone want to get into a bidding war over this "peach"

I really hope people aren't paying these prices for beat up crap. As far as i'm concerned the pellet hysteria is over until further notice.
A stove like the one is this ad should be 250 bucks tops.
