I have seen a few rather expensive generators for sale on facebook. Some new in box. Real humanitarians.
If a stranger wanted to buy one of mine he’d pay through the nose.
And how would give him his change?
Not a big vodka fan, but I like beer too. I have almost a 12 pack of Yuengling in the fridge also.I have seen those, but I am not man enough. Plus my buddies are all vodka or beer guys.
I've had my Genny for about 15 years, I would like to have a whole house generator but this one has more than paid for itself, especially in the winter. We have gas heat so I only need enough juice to power the fan motor. The wife complains if I start the work stove up, melting all the candles and having to walk around the house naked and all.
Went to WM tonight (around 8) after I got off work.
Madhouse. No milk, no water, no bread...Clemmons; not New Bern, Richlands or Burgaw, but Clemmons.
If ever SHTF in a major way, things are going to get real ugly, real quick.
I don’t mean anything bad by this statement I just have never understood the problem that some people (ok a lot of people) have with “price gouging”.
Nobody bats and eye when a tickle me Elmo sells for $2000 because someone didn’t buy one early enough for their kid but someone fails to prepare ahead of time gets charged double for an item they should have bought months ago and everyone loses their minds.
We’re either a free market or we aren’t. Free markets are controlled by supply and demand. If a friend needed a generator I’d loan him one. If a stranger wanted to buy one of mine he’d pay through the nose.
OK, which one of you guys is this?

Or they could go overboard, like me...What's the deal with water for crying out loud?!
You have municipal water, you're okay. You're on a well, fill some containers before power goes.
What's the problem? People are too stupid anymore.
Flooding. If it washes out a road it can take the water main with it.What's the deal with water for crying out loud?!

Flooding during Matthew took out the water plant in Lumberton. We were without our city water for a week..... without being "ready" and having plenty of drinking water on hand, we would've been screwed. I'll not depend on any government, city, or municipality to supply me and mine with the things needed to sustain ourselves.Flooding. If it washes out a road it can take the water main with it.

I agree 100%, Free market. Giving and low prices should come from the heart, not forced by government.I don’t mean anything bad by this statement I just have never understood the problem that some people (ok a lot of people) have with “price gouging”.

Nice setup you got there!Or they could go overboard, like me...
We're on county water, which went out after Matthew. Didn't come back for a week.
This go round my eldest daughter and her girls are staying with us so I figured near to 450 gallons should see us through.
Thanks @thrillhill [emoji3]

Haven't municipal water supplies been contaminated during flooding? I seem to remember people being told boil water or only use bottles water during other major hurricanes and flooding events.
Sure, I understand that. My comment was indtended to shine light on those who don't seem to know how to prepare.
I live in the Burg. It’s changed a lot over the years.I got a loaf of bread at Aldi in Harrisburg without having to resort to fisticuffs or displaying my carry weapon. But....I will have to continue to drink my filtered well water because thy had nothing but 'spring water' yech
I have picked them up here and there. I used to travel regionally and got the first two from a guy in Beulahville, along with a 55 gal pickle drum and 10 5 gal buckets w/lids.Nice setup you got there!
Where do you get those giant tanks?
My water bob is ok, but those tanks look really good! LoL.
