I am a comparable newby to pellets and wondering how were the pellet prices in the last couple of years (maybe 5-10) ?

You can easily google such info for oil and propane and such, but nothing for pellets ? In its absence, can you maybe summerize what you have paid for pellets over the last years - ideally if you used always the same brand, but box store prices is interesting as well.

I would like to collect a list of price developments (per ton) over the last years, if you could also state your region if not in your signature that would be great. Approximations, guesses and felt prices is OK too, just state its a rough guess.

Thanks a lot and I will summerize afterwards in case anyone else wonders too !
 
I have been using my pellet stove for the last 7 heating seasons, it is a Breckwell Big E . I buy pellets in the spring every year except in 05 when I bought in September.

05 $180.00 A TON
06 $195.00
07 $195.00
08 $185.00
09 $250.00 did not have to buy any this year, had enough left over from 08, price went down to $200.00 in January.
10 $205.00
11 $220.00

I have only bought pellets at my local Agway.
