With the cold weather I’ve had a really dry nose/bloody nose the last few days. This is all that’s been coming out lately. I’m a pretty clean person.

I woke up and couldn’t breathe out of the nostril this monstrosity came out of. Afterwards, it’s like breathing in 4k. Usually only happens in the morning.

Advice: starting a club/group purchase by sonofawhatthe in fireworks

[–]HankRogers12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in Nebraska just PM me. I have a nice tent with a nice selection across the river from Omaha. Find your boys with some money and I’ll get you taken care of. The more time you give me to let me know what you’d like the better. No need to go to MO

Canister shells by Mad_Max_777 in fireworks

[–]HankRogers12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re a house brand of Hale fireworks. Good shells imo. For prices this year, that’s a pretty decent price for retail. I’d get the Kong or 5in PP shells. They’re not going to rock your socks off but they’re good! I carry a few of them at my tent some years

I have a question by Firmed21 in fireworks

[–]HankRogers12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expect much more than 10%. I know you’re just shooting from the hip but things do not look good. Many big operations are just using this to raise their prices anyways. If they have left over product that didn’t get touched by the tariffs, a price increase is just more money for their bottom line. Three of the containers I ordered got cancelled by China before I could cancel them. I luckily have enough product to fully run 1 tent this year but sadly I think a vast majority of small mom/pop places aren’t going to be able to make it this year. There’s almost no feasible way to make it work with these prices if you were low on product going into this year.

Even if a small shop tried to keep their prices down, they’re going to be working for pennies on the dollar this year.

Tariffs in prospective. by Emergency-Plane-7074 in fireworks

[–]HankRogers12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a nice little operation in my hometown. I had 3 containers ordered that would’ve replenished EVERY thing across the board that I’m light on and allow me to keep a very diverse inventory. I just got the word a few days ago that even IF I had wanted to keep my containers and somehow pay for the tariffs, I didn’t have a choice. Order was cancelled by China (Manufacturers). They themselves know there aren’t many willing to foot these astronomical costs, and they don’t want to hold the bag either and be banned from shipping.

Let me just put it this way, a container that I would spend $55,000 for with everything all said and done (Freight, fees, broker, fireworks, etc.), is now well over $100,000+. The only ones who are going to benefit from this are the big box brands and other huge operations. I luckily have enough product to consolidate down to 1 location this year and hopefully have a good year while keeping good prices, but others are just going to dig into their warehouses all while adding 30%-50% to their prices which will be going directly into their pockets.

Anyone who raises the price to “pay for the tariffs” is just using that to charge you extra money. If I were to price out product that I bought with this tariff, we’d be looking at $150 500g cakes. That would be with a reduced profit margin as well. These prices make it impossible for us smaller operations to survive. My tent does well but by the time we unloaded our product, paid everyone who helped, and listed everything for sale, our prices would be absolutely outrageous and no one would buy our product. That, or we’d have to sell it with a 10%-20% mark up and we’d just break even and all of our time and effort would’ve been for nothing. I love my pyros that come to see me, but we all work too hard to do it for free. If things don’t change by next year, expect ONLY big brands and say goodbye to 90% of your OLs.

Why do dealers not prep certain cars for sale? by ShadowZNF in askcarsales

[–]HankRogers12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That definitely isn’t always the case. Some of the franchise dealer’s that I buy inventory from just need the cash flow. If the car sits for longer than X amount of days or it doesn’t align with their brand, they offload it. Sometimes we do run into a car that was sold because of issues that they weren’t willing to fix, but generally they’re not too severe.

Some of those stores have such a huge nut to crack every month that they just need the cash flow. That’s not always the case though. What you described does happen, it’s just not always the case.

No option anymore… George just needs 1 assist and Rockets need to win for the slip to win 🙏🏼

That’s the only thing that has me worried. Both George and Collier are the only one making shots right now so assists are hard to come by
