What's up with Powder Valley?

[runway1]

Used to love this place but heck, they haven't had any powder in over a year...regularly anyhow. Powders have been coming back at other sources but PV is still showing empty.

Anybody think they'll get back to their old selves soon?

I've seen multiple notifications from PV about shipments from Hodgden and others. however, once it hits the shelves, its gone in less than an hour.

Have them on Facebook?

I don't do twit-face. Security issues.

Well that's odd. Stores and shows a reasonably stocked now, meaning the panic buying seems to have subsided. Maybe not.

Understandable. It's pretty useful for heads up on shipments from them. I think they have been quieter lately or I have just been missing their posts.

Powder Valley has been around for a very long time, and intends to stay that way. They have held their prices, but when it comes up on facebook, it's gone. All the big suppliers are in the same boat. You just have to wait for the resevoir to fill up again.

Fair enough, but this is the medium Powder Valley uses to announce powder shipments. That is why you feel you are in the dark, because your are, by choice.

Lol yea I hardly know anyone who uses social media anymore, and the ones that do either lot on, lot off. Or go on rants and try to save the endangered baby white rabbit seals.

I like PV but every time I have been there in the last 2 years they have only had a few things I needed, and never enough to justify the shipping and hazmat.

[CK_32]

As far as PV they have stuff come up. Like all sights you just have to be posted... Not as much buy guys are still cleaning house trying to flip while they still can and other are still buying tons at a time.

Yea, Facebook, that's exactly where I want to go register on the "he buys powder by the 8 pound jug" watch list

If you see it on other sites/sources, why not buy it from them instead of PV??? Why come here and complain about them?

What I'm trying to get at is that the reason PV shows empty most of the time is because they have GOOD prices and as soon as it comes back in stock, it's sold out within a few hours.

Like others said, they post of Facebook when they have powder on the way. Don't expect them to call you personally to tell you that.

You don't buy it on facebook, or even have to post. You just create an account (use a fake name if you like) and "like" the pages that you normally buy stuff from or are interested in and then set your notifications to alert you when they have a new post. Then you will see the announcements of new stock and be able to purchase accordingly in your regular way. There are several businesses that I follow and have gotten in on some great deals before they went OOS.

If you're really worried about following a powder company on facebook then you shouldn't even be visiting their site on the web.

LOL - but they will have more "real soon". And best of all, "they are working hard to meet the unprecedented demand". (yeah for the last 2 years)
