    Will there be a glut of generators in six months?

    With all the people worried about the zombie apocalypse buying water, toilet paper, eggs, canned goods etc. ... are they also buying electric generators? Will it be like after Y2K and never used generators will flood the market for years?
    Or maybe corona virus will make it's own electricity?

    Dunno about generators in 6 months but I'm predicting babies in 9.

    As for generators, last night on CL was a DeVilbiss Power back from the early part of the 2000's. Owner stated that it had only 4 hours run time on it. How did I know it was from early 2000's? It had Tecumseh engine and old style fuel tank. Looked band new.

    Unless those eggs are free range, then the rooster wasn't present to get the job done.

    Demand for energy has dropped and there's no problems with production. It's doubtful that generators sales will change much.

    Here you can't buy a freezer, so there will be plenty of those filled with old food in a few years.
