    This guy has been trying to sell this pile for months. Originally it was something like $10 per log. You just have to wonder what he thinks cedar is made of?

    That's got to be the winner! An armload of wood for $200? I could gather that much wood on a walk around my neighborhood after a good rain. Apparently, he believes that cedar logs have a higher BTU output than diesel soaked coal in a nuclear reactor.

    Maybe I'm missing it. That doesn't seem like a bad deal to me.
    He has already gotten all of the wood together.
    If it's seasoned and ready to go, I think I would at least take a look.

    Probably thought it is worth that much because of the use of cedar for closets and chests.

    I look at it like this. I spent my money to buy a splitter. I don't think it is fair to ask someone to use their time and equipment to preform a service and not pay for it. The offer of some wood is not enough for my time.

    I have spent many days working for a tree service and getting paid to take trees down and haul away wood. Not in this ad but some want you to clean up a mess for free but you can keep the junk wood.

    $200 is a typo isnt it ?

    No , I guess it isn't . Ive seen some of the other ads on CL. It is still surprising.

    Wanting something for nothing

    I have a terrible neighbor, a Chinese woman who's always pestering arborists for low-ball estimates, trade labor for wood. etc. One guy gave her a quote of $1100 to drop an enormous 80 foot oak only 6 feet from her house. Her reply "Oh, no, too much money, I very good cook, will cook you Chinese dumplings for one year for free, you cut down tree." His reply: "Lady, I dont' even LIKE dumplings."

    Woah watta deel!!! Hmmmmmmmmm, a night worth of bonfire wood or a cord of fir, hmmmmmmm

    It must have been, like, a shuper speshel magical tree!
    ROFLOL!!

    GAH!! I just turned down one of these fantastic deals the other day, 10 large-ish alders all at 45degrees over a swamp (read time consuming bloody dangerous), for the wood. I told the HO I'm alergic to alders, kinda looked at me funny. Said I'd get them on the ground and limbed @ 45$hr (probably 3hrs bs slaving) and he (thankfully) balked, I left never to return. Some folks just do not 'get it'.
    I love the listing for the yard full of crap too wtf are they thinking?

    Anyhow, I find threads like this a source of morning mirth, go well with coffee.
    War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses. Thomas Jefferson, not a bad guy really.

    Dear Witchy, so sad you are gone, but your memory/warmth will live on within us all, cut up a pile fer us who are soon to follow and feet may be cold
