Here is what I have so far, let me know if you would like me to add anything I have to check it over and polish it up as well before its final and I have to add some more stuff but this was all thats on my mind right now.

Wholesale, how can that be such a scary word? Maybe because it means you have to spend thousands and thousands of dollars? That’s not always true. Yes, some companies do have a high limit but a lot of companies have limits of one thousand or more. Still can’t afford it? One word, a group buy, so that’s two words. A group buy is buying with a group of friends, family or fellow fanatics by combining all your funds and buying at wholesale. Which means, cheaper fireworks, with the same quality, and the best of all more fireworks!! There’s little tricks to group buys like trading a couple pieces with friends to get more variety but, we won’t get into that. We’re going to discuss buying wholesale for the first time. And what’s an article without some pros and cons? We’ll get into that as well.
Lets look at the scenario you’ve been buying from Phantom, or your corner store firework retailer for years. Always thinking you get that great deal with buy one get one free, or half off, etc. I thought the same thing. Then I heard of wholesale buying from an online forum. I was very skeptical at first. I was nervous because I shopped at a local stand for years and didn’t think I’d get the good deals with wholesale as I did being a regular going to the stand for years. So, I researched videos of a lot of different repeaters, artillery shells, etc. I had $800 to spend and I ended up buying a lot of stuff over 300 pieces to be exact. All repeaters and shells, nothing else. Since this article is on Bigs website I can say that all these products I got were better than the corner store. And I dealt with extremely nice people and will gladly purchase from there business for years to come.
After reading into wholesale; it’s the best way to go if you’re a firework fanatic! Something that used to cost $25 for one 12-shot repeater now costs $55 for 4 of them. That’s less than $15 a piece, and a savings of $45, which you can put in your wallet, or better yet, spend it on more fireworks. You buy fireworks in cases. Items in cases can range from one to any number. Ex: The case of 96 shot color pearls has 40 pieces in a case.
So what are the pros and cons of wholesale? We’ll start with the long list of pros. It’s cheaper per piece, your buying buy cases rather than pieces so your getting more. Now cons, if your not in a group buy and you don’t have friends that don’t want to pool the money then you have to spend a decent amount of cash. Most companies have stages of pricelist like Silver, Gold, Platinum, Etc. Basically the more you spend the cheaper the prices are going to get.
