Anybody seen shovels today?

[Mama_Mia08]

Lusby Hardware got 196 shovels in today.... they sold out in about 20 minutes....

The scene was on the scale of the original cabbage patch doll mob....

Wouldn't you think that people should have shovels by now? Surely not everyone in the tri-county area is new to the area or even new to snow...or winter...I went through hell to try and get one the last couple snow storms. I finally managed to get 2 last week after multiple trips to every store I could think of. I didn't realize it would be such a fiasco to get a shovel in winter.

It is so strange...

Just because they have shovels doesn't mean they don't need to buy more. I need to replace my 13+ year old snow shovel. It's one of the traditional metal flat bladed shovels. Blade is bent and I have to lay it face down and stomp on the back of the blade to straighten it every couple minutes.

Ace in Lusby is suppose to get a shipment in today. I can't believe all the drama over shovels

I know a guy that bought all that they had a few days before the last snow and then he turned around and sold them.

Had a plastic bladed snow shovel and it worked great for 10 years, it split in half finally on Tuesday so i will be in the market for a new one once the supply and demand issue slows down. Using an old bent up metal one now but it still works.

I have the right 'kind' of shovel, but it's plastic.. when i did this for a living we all had HEAVY metal shovels. Pain in the butt to throw snow with, but it could scrape a sidewalk and push the snow like a snowplow on a tractor.
