Lowe's Pellet Prices gone crazy!

I was in Lowe's today picking up a few things and checked on their pellet prices. They have Maine Choice for $300 a ton and Green Team Platinum for $350. This is in Sanford Maine. I don't get it. Oil prices down to $1.75 per gallon. I don't think they will be selling to much at those prices.

Interesting. They are still showing $2.59 a ton online here in the Tropics of Virginia.

Hell, at BB's price of $2.59 a "ton", even a pellet hater like me would jump on the bandwagon. LOL.

Just washed my fingers and can't do a thing with them.

Believe it or not, there are many people who burn pellets because they "think" it's always going to be cheaper than oil/propane... I've already spoke with many of them this fall. Half of them looked at me in shock, the other half didn't believe me that oil was cheaper, and will continue to just burn pellets.

Out west Lowes wants $50.00 more per ton than Homedepot and they are the same pellets from the same plant, just in a different bag. The more states that legalize weed, the more this is going to happen...They're HIGH!

Welcome to Long Island pricing. Hopefully next year will be dirt cheap after seeing all the extra leftover inventory from this year.

Lowes shows online price locally of 6.98 but in store is 4.98

At a Lowes In NY, I bought a ton for $269.00 one week later they were $299.oo a ton. One week before Veterans Day, 10% off, they raised the price. What a slap in the face.

All the local Lowes around here only show bag prices online
( the ones I checked anyway )


Why would the price of pellets be affected by the price of oil ?
Coal isn't, neither is nat gas.
Too early to start having fire sales to give them away I would think.
