Z121 fireworks price chaos on "online market"
Near the Lunar New Year of At Ty 2025, the market for exchanging and trading silent fireworks of Chemical Company 21 (Z121) is becoming more and more exciting.
The prices of each type of fireworks are listed by 21 Chemical Company Limited as follows: Outdoor silver water spray tube costs 25,000 VND/tube, 25-tube flower spray rack, flashing pellet spray rack (manufactured in 2024) costs 330,000 VND/rack; 2024 pellet spray rack, special pellet spray rack with 25 tubes costs 350,000 VND/rack, 2m silver waterfall has the highest price of 450,000 VND/string...
However, on groups and online markets, many products are sold by accounts at prices up to 100,000 VND higher than the listed price.
Posing as someone who wants to buy the above two products, the reporter contacted the accounts selling them on groups and forums. The product is a flashing pellet spraying rig manufactured in January 2025, type 25 tubes, priced at 480,000 VND/rig; a pellet spraying rig manufactured in 2024, type 25 tubes, priced at 470,000 VND/rig.
Compared to the listed price of Chemical Company 21 (Z121), the price of the flashing pellet spraying rig and the above pellet spraying rig is being sold at nearly 1.5 times higher, the difference is about 120,000 - 150,000 VND/rig.
When asked about the price difference between the sellers, an account owner said: "Cheap fireworks are not necessarily of good quality. If our fireworks do not meet your requirements, we will give them away to you."
Contacting another account on the "online market", the reporter received a cheaper offer but not too much difference. According to the account owner H.H (Hoang Mai, Hanoi), the flashing pellet spraying system and the pellet spraying system manufactured in 2024 are currently fluctuating between 420,000 - 430,000 VND/system. If buying in large quantities, from 10 boxes of all types or more, the "preferential" price will be reduced from 5,000 - 10,000 VND/system.
Price difference at stores and distributors
The price difference not only occurs in groups and "online markets" but also at Z121 fireworks dealers.
According to the reporter's records, at store number 3 in Cau Giay area (Hanoi), the selling price of outdoor silver water pipes is 350,000 VND/bag of 5 pipes; the flashing pellet spraying system produced at the same time, type 25 pipes, is offered at 430,000 VND/system; the pellet spraying system produced in January 2025, type 25 pipes, is priced at 450,000 VND/system.
Mr. Huynh Van Cong (Cau Giay, Hanoi) conveniently passed by store number 3 so he took the opportunity to buy some for his family to experience on the occasion of the Lunar New Year At Ty. Mr. Cong shared: "It's Tet so the prices of the items are a bit higher, I bought both the pellet sprayer and the flashing pellet sprayer, a total of 5 boxes for 2,200,000 VND".
