Cordwood Prices going crazy

[scalo]

Here is a link to someone that thinks their wood is worth $$$$ http://http://nh.craigslist.org/mat/836881387.html

 

[stihlaficionado]

link wouldn't work for me...but here in East Central Illinois the highest I've seen so far for a full cord of oak is $315.00, delivery extra.

Seems to be a dead link from here?

 

[Mike Van]

I think there's one too many http's in the link - Around here, as oil prices drop, it doesn't seem as scarey as a few months ago. They were talking 5.00/gal fuel oil then. It's down to 3.96 now, was 4.69 not long ago. Still a lot, but not 5.00. Lots of wood here, 200.00 full cord is average now. Around the big cities it's probably higher.

 

[dbmatt]

Here in northern NJ prices for a full cord range between $200-250 from the reputable dealers I have found. That is up from $175 last year.

this guy wants $400 per cord....and, he says to hurry because it's going fast!

LOL

[myzamboni]

That's about going rate out here. $375-$400/ cord. This is why I scrounge and don't mind burning pine.

i checked other firewood in that area...seems over $300 is the going price.

i can see the trend now across the nation. in another year, fire wood will be over $600 per cord.

Hmm, Thats a delivered price and its for mostly Oak, OAK !!! Not bad, cheaper than delivered from this guy http://wichita.craigslist.org/hsh/820498477.html

Gotta love it when they ask you to supply them, then cut-n-paste your ad and edit in thier own prices. They forgot the part about not crossing the wood in the stack though. LOL he stopped calling.

 

[Ductape]

Yep...... $300 to $350 is about average this year. $400 is well over what most are getting......... i can't imagine anyone will bite on that one.

Price around here 300-400 a cord

I am selling @ 375 per cord and won't take a penny less. I am not the cheapest and not the most expensive in the area. There are always going to people who sell cheaper than market price. They usually sell only a few cords a year for extra cash and are almost always out of the picture when the weather gets cold and the wood becomes harder to find. Most of my customrs are regulars who know they wil get a full cord and that it will ready to burn. Last time we had a wet summer like this year I replaced wood for a lot of people who bought wet wood at "bargain" prices. I suspect this year will be the same.

Salem, NH is as far south in the state as you can get without crossing into Ma$$achu$etts. They cut down all the trees there to make room for caloney-baolney McMansions on cul-de-sucks. Not surprised to see it going for that amount down there.

I have family that lives a couple towns over from there. I've heard of soccer mom types woodscrounging on the roadsides and getting into shouting matches over who has a rightful claim to the wood.

Even up our way, it's going for $250-$300.

 

[fletcher0780]

looks like $200 is the going rate in CT

[StihltheOne]

175-195 cut, split and delivered for pine here in Wyoming

 

[danrclem]

I checked out Louisville craigslist and the most expensive I saw was $75.00 for a face cord that was 18" long. It said that it was hardwood.

Most wood where I live is sold as a face chord or rick.

 

[tomtrees58]

sold some last night old customer $250.00 dump tom trees

i thought a "ric" was 1/3 a cord. he claims it to be only 24" high....half a face cord.

i always thought a ric was a face cord.
