So far the prices for Central NY are not looking all that good. NEWP is going to be around $200 picked up and we are waiting on a call back from Northern to see if they are going to have a spring price reduction. I was hoping to sell them for around $175 but I can't even get them for that.

Got the stuff yesterday... gotta love the Bear Mountain's... worth every penny.

got a email yesterday, NEWP has,according to this seller "dropped wholesale prices" so they now where offering $280 per ton instead of $290 pickup !

Looks like the best bet is back to fuel oil and put a plant on the pellet stove !

maybe if enough do the same,and many will,they will be drowning in pellets and the price will drop.

 

[dodge99]

That is a really bad price for NEWP

 

[Lousyweather]

x2 Dodge! I know what the spring wholesale price is for NEWP's, and agreed..........again, Im amazed at the local idiosynchracies of retail pricing!

How many gallons of fuel oil does a ton of pellets replace? I assume from this discussion you guys stove burning pellets somewhere between $200 and $300/ton?

I use this and just plug in the numbers,of course it does not account for moving pellets,cleaning.

Dry Creek had on there bags that 1 bag of pellets was worth 2.5 gallons of oil, so 50 x 2.5 = 125 gallons.

Last year I was offered a price of $279 a ton for NEWP during the "early buy" program. Prices later dropped, yet this year their price is just about the same as last year??? Doesn't make sense...

Relax....prices haven't begun to go down that much, early bird wont catch the worm....make'um sweat!!

New England feels that they do not have to drop their price.

We just got the spring price for Cubex $225 picked up! I am happy with that because it does seem to be a really good burning pellet.

Thats the feeling I am getting but my neighbor runs a plant that is next store to one of their suppliers that is full of wood that they don't want right now as they have so many pellets unsold !

Love the pellets they make but the company is not customer friendly IMO !

I'd fill my garage if I could get Cubex for that price !

Although NEWP is a pretty decent pellet, I can pay LESS for BETTER elsewhere. If NEWP doesn't realize that soon enough, they'll realize it when sales begin to drop.

Most business owners will not tell you their true profit margin.
How can you be sure the manufacturer did not come down more than $10 a ton wholesale?

now thats a excellent price for an A+ pellet

Local dealer has Corinth for $222 you pick up and Athens (New) for around $217 you pick up.
Was given 2 bags of Athens to try. So far they are burning just like New England's.
