I'm originally from Florida where we have year round fireworks. I once worked at one of the local firework stores called Sky King that was in town. After seeing the prices of the fireworks in the owners wholesale catalog I will never buy fireworks ever again. It is a SCAM! Buy one get one? Buy one get 2? SCAM!!! It is all rigged to make you think you are getting something for free.

The mark up is 200 to 250% on fireworks. Big 500 gram finale pieces that cost anywhere from $150 to $250 cost the owner a whole $1 to $2 a piece (depending on which item). Firecrackers, sparklers, bottle rockets, all cost pennies.

Fireworks are peoples money going up in flames. LITTERALY!
