Where are the Ronsons?!!!! They used to be all over the Wally Worlds and now I can't find them.

You can find good "lot" deals on them on Ebay

My point is what happened to the 2.97 price at Wal Mart. I called Zippo/Ronson customer relations and they told me Walgreens and CVS were the only retailers on their list. I asked what happened with WalMart carrying them and she said she didn't know. I think Ronson realized that they could get a bit more for their product. Only thing I can think of.

No longer the magical lighter to me. Yes 5 bucks is reasonable, but I feel cheated somehow.

You feel cheated by paying $5 for a quality torch lighter that will outlast most lighters that cost 10 times that? Wow. I for one am glad that walmart no longer carries these. I hate the fact that they can dictate to manufacturers what they will pay for their product. That's kinda bass ackwards from the way it should be, don't you think?

You have to remember, when Walmart tells you to sell your lighter for under 3 bucks, you do it or your done. They were probably loosing their asses. I know I picked mine up last year for under 4 bucks at Walgreen's. I just can't kill this thing, it definitely outlasted my 3 Colibri's that all took a crap after a few months.

My Walmart still sells these. $ 2.94.

Drug Mart near me has some, but they are funny. I don't think they have the all-metal ones. I will check tomorrow.

(Just looked online, they are the Comets, not the Jetlite. I will check and see if they have the Jetlite)

shilala · 05-01-2011, 07:25 PM

We have a CVS and Walgreens right up the street. I'll check both of them to see what they have.

Bunker · 05-01-2011, 08:03 PM

I check the various local Wally Worlds everytime I am there but I haven't seen a Ronson in about 6 months.

There are 2 CVS stores in my town. One had them and the other (closer one, go figure) still "had" one. When I am not in a rush and come up to a CVS, I stop to check if they have them. Paid off today picked up another one and was told that they are expecting more in their Thursday delivery. I guess I will be going back.

Blak Smyth · 06-21-2011, 09:32 AM

Im going to have to try CVS on my way home from work tonight, fingers crossed!
I just ordered a Calibri White Hybrid so I have the dual flame, but I should have just picked up one of these Ronsons instead! Oh I hope my local CVS has um!

06-21-2011, 12:39 PM

They are still at my Walmart all the time... for about $3 as well. I usually keep 2-3 in stock at my place for ya know....

MrOneEyedBoh · 06-21-2011, 12:40 PM

If anyone gets in on these, can you spread the wealth.. There are absolutely none to be found near me.

Blak Smyth · 06-22-2011, 10:31 AM

Damn, my local CVS has the standard 3 pack of Ronson lighters but no Jetlites!
