Exactly! That’s how Phantom fireworks is, they have buy ones get 2 free but one box of Excalibur’s is $199.99 plus the other 2 so you paying for all 3! Other stores a box of Excalibur’s is $60-$80
Just saw your comment after I posted. Thats why I go to DNT Fireworks in West Alexander, Pa. He gives you a percentage back depending on how much you spend. No BOGO bs. Now, when I see a Groupon $99 for $40 or recently buy a mask get a $99 for $30, then I bite.
$149 for excalibers? bahahaha so $75 a box. THATS NOT WHOLESALE! $32 is wholesale on excalibers. then get hit with 18% tax, i'll keep making the 4 hour drive to west Virginia

I remember about 2 years ago dave I went too keystone fireworks 2 days before the 4th man it was like black Friday the whole store was packed with people me and my fiance waited like 20 minutes just to get off the exit ramp to get in the Gettysburg store
it go by how much taxes that state is charging for taxes in fireworks and all states are not the same .that why there higher in prices . and you telling me driving 4-5 hours to a state would be cheaper to drive to after paying the gas prices yeah i dont think so
Fellow pyros! can somebody explain to me why a lot of fireworks stores have buy one get one free? Instead of pricing it half the price?? Greetz from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Ppyro it's just their sales tactic to move more product. It may have to do with the culture too since that's just the way it has always been done at most places. I worked at a firework store for awhile and I make and set off shows for people. My profile picture is me sitting in total darkness and I am being illuminated by the show I am electronically setting off.
Thanks everyone for answering! I understand it's become some what of a custom, the way they price there stuff. Maybe the words "get on free" give people a better feeling? Here in the Netherlands (Europe) the average consumer would think they're being ripped off, by making them buy a double product.. Stores here only do it on outlet and special sale products. Have a great 4th guys!!!👍🔥👍

Hey just happened across Phatom Fireworks in Pa. address is 119 Broad St, Stroudsburg, PA. 18360. That's 2 1/2 hrs from me, I'm gonna talk to them for 2020.
@@michaelk8554 I did find a place called TNT and they have massive super centers in Easton PA, and Philly. But I think they are retail and not wholesale. But dont quote me on that. They (TNT) also has a small store in Lancaster as well. But thats all I found so far. Phantom is great and have an amazing selection, but a bit pricey.
I can get Guerrila Warfare for $50. So that buy one get one is proven once again to not be any deal. They are charging $99. Markup say buy one get one but your actually getting the price you want anyway.
I live in PA and they need to get rid of that stupid extra 12% sales tax we pay 6% already and then on top of that they want to charge an additional 12% 18% sales tax total is bullshit!!!!!
Not sure where you are, but some states have higher prices. That is just the way it is. If you want to move into those states and open a business with cheaper prices, go do it
I’m jealous that you guys have fireworks stores but California is dumb enough to not legalize consumers because each year we do too much illegal fireworks hopefully I can go to red apple fireworks today then do a big show on the 4th for my family from Arizona
@@itsmjm430 they were always legal in pa just needed a permit from a leading offical in your community or township or borough its just now you dont need a oermit
Dave I really hope they paid you good brother. I can't believe you'd advertise for this blatant rip off of a store. Those prices were absolutely ridiculous and I'm shocked you'd give them airtime and promote em. $229 for one bad mother? $49 I get em for. Same with xcals...smh
Hey Dave. Go see the owner of DNT Fireworks. Great guy, great store. Help him out he has a single family owned store and I think a video would really help him. Thank you.
I was in there last week. Biggest bogo load of shit I ever heard of. Guy said buy one get one same price. He said that's how we do bogo... I said I'm going to glitter mountain
It appears that the people from the south are ignorant to the prices people pay for fireworks in the northern states. So you can get a truck load of Excals for under a dollar. Well buy 8 truck loads of them up here and make your fortune, that is if you can open a store front really cheap. Which you can't because of the cost of permits in these northern states. But you go ahead and prove all of these owners wrong and come give the customers of the north better deals.
Buy one get one free with fireworks is stupid unless they have equal value things where you can mix and match so you aren't paying $54 for 2 identical cakes
Move to Penn and open up a store and sell them cheaper. If you can beat those prices and keep the doors open and the lights turned on, go prove your ability to stay in business.
With what prices? People pay money hand over fist for fireworks in the north. Up here there it costs more to open up a shop. If you think you can deliver a cheaper price and stay in business, then come prove it. No one is going to put 100 in the gas take to drive down south to save 200 on fireworks. Time is money.
@@lman2677 well how can they save money by putting 100 in the gas tank when those prices are through the roof,places like this scam by doing the 2 for 1
@@charliesalazar8010 This is the last time I am going to try and make my point. Fireworks are generally cheaper in southern states. So if someone from Penn or Michigan wanted to pay what you are paying for fireworks they are going to have to drive a thousand miles away plus to get those prices like they have in Florida, or wherever these people are claiming to get $50 fireworks for $10. Sure you can get them cheaper, but the owners up here are not going to make a living by getting their stock down south and selling them for the same price they paid for them, which is my entire point. They have to pay for permits, buildings, electricity, employees, shipping. Everything. That is why fireworks are much more expensive in the northern states,.
Those large boxes have huge compartments that have nothing in them. Just large pieces of cardboard that take up space. Just another reason to buy straight from the source and not from cheapskate dealers like this.
Holllly shit!!!!! Did I just see the Gorilla Warfare cake for $100??? Even with the buy one get one free deal. I bought one for $40 at a different shop. This is a baaaad store. Do not go there. Thieves.
Nice store open all year around. Got a good selection to choose from, prices are decent, workers are very helpful as well. Definitely will be going back. Everyone saying they can shop cheaper in differnet states calculate your price for gas to and from and guarantee it's better to shop here.
Wholesale????? Those prices are nowhere near wholesale. I am a firework dealer here in Missouri and those prices are a joke. Buy 1 get 1 get 1 free? More like pay for 10 and get 2. 😆
Name your store "Wholesale Fireworks", charge more than double the retail price, BOGO! Such a deal! $55 for 2 Honey badgers? Honey badgers are 2 for $25 in the retail stores here... $150 for 2 packs of Excalibur? They are $40 a box retail here, or a case of 4 is $136..
I had a guy out here in south florida try to run a tent. He priced single items at the Phantom's BOGO price. Like $16 for a fountain the size of a beer mug. lol He didn't know what Excaliburs or Super Magnums were. He went extinct his first, year.
Those prices are definitely higher than any firework will go from there. Age old scam, double the price then say buy 1 get 1. Nice try
