Kaokin Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 The fourth is right around the corner and I am planning out my show, Where can I get the best deal on class C stuff? Everytime I walk into a local fireworks store I feel like im getting robbed, even though they all know me and give me supposedly great deals.

nater Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I buy from various places during the year. It depends what I am looking for, but I will cherry pick a few retail stores and vendors that support the local clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Pyro Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 What state are you in? Bigs, and SO76 usually have some pretty nice deals going on this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Victory Fireworks has some very good deals. Honestly, you're not going to get great deals until you start buying wholesale, and even then you don't get the best ones until you're buying many cases at a time. Victory allows groups to get together and buy so as to get the best discounts. Often times PyroU gets a group together. Of course Victory is really only in Wisconsin, but they do ship. It sounds like you're not big enough to make that worth while though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im in New Hampshire, Our club just had their group buy but i missed it I downloaded the BIG's price directory and you need to spend $1000.00 to get their wholesale prices, I typically spend $500 on C stuff for the show so i am not quite at that price level. Plus, my wife is already mad that i spent a ton on chemicals and supplies to start making my own. I should just open up my own store...... Hmmm...

ballmill Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I go to Kneppys in central PA, they stock BIGS stuff and have great prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBangergoosEx Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I usually buy from a warehouse near where i live, you can buy pretty much anything once you sign a waiver. Not sure if you can purchase class c online, and im guessing it would be expensive. You can always make your own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaokin Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 I just came back from PA and bought some rockets and reload-ables; I was just wondering if everyone here pays "retail" for their stuff or if there is a way to get it wholesale. It sounds like the group buys are probably the best way to go for next year. The group buy that we just had (and i missed) was a great deal for wholesale stuff but you can only buy cases and the shipping per case was in the $10 to $15 range which, when you do the math, is still a great deal. Banger, I'm not sure about the avatar question, I didn't read that anywhere, and no one has told me otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaokin Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 I picked up a couple dozen 8oz rockets and a couple dozen small rockets for modification, picked up some bottle rockets, some mammoth 5min smokes, and some of the BIG brand mortar kits. I have a laser show that sits in a cavity benath my launch site and shoots the beams through the smoke of my finalle... the mammoth smokes are to aid in this :-) I pretty much bought whatever I cant normally get locally. My finalle this year is going to be all gold and blue; based off "too hot to handle" by showtime and "hot stars" by showtime as well. Ill throw in some "Pyro Boy" by AAH, Some willows, Brocades, some Blue on Blue (Black Cat) and some 3" blue shells at the end. Right when the tubes go off at the end, im doing 4 2.5 gal creamoras and 5 modified rockets Should be sweet! Heres a link to a few of the base pieces: Too Hot to handle Hot Stars: Pyro Boy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWb8-HoVBKw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrizla Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 If you spend $500 on class C and you have friends who like fireworks, you may as well order $1000 from BIG or else your paying 3 times as much. Taking $500 and paying retail at this time of year your not going to get very much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echostorm Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I also buy from Victory. Their class C PyroKing items are outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
