Yeah they appear occasionally around here and vanish almost instantly.

It's an Honest Abe and it's in Lincoln. How could you question anything about it?

 

[BillNole]

I spent $500 on mine a couple of years ago and grumble about it everytime I look at it. It's homebuilt and 20+ years old, but splits almost anything I put on it. Then I think about how much I've split with it and didn't risk a heart attack swinging the maul and I get over it. I have about 5 years of wood onhand right now and have even considered selling it and just buying another in a few years when I'll need to restock.

Highly unlikely I'll sell it without a plan to replace it. We don't burn much, doing so more for ambiance and as a back up plan for that ever-pending "storm-of-the-century". We go through 1-2 full cords a year and I have 6 onhand. I can always find room for more but I've passed on some incredibly good deals lately due to a recent health discovery. I'll be fine, but I need to be careful for awhile and won't gather anymore this year. Funny how just a little over a year ago I was down to less than 1/2 a cord after gathering very little for a couple of years and now I have wood curing for almost half a decade hence. All of it from one old really nice handicapped guy that posted a CL add that produced 3-1/2 cords of beautiful red oak last summer and another 3-1/2 cords this summer of more oak (1-1/2 cords of pin, red and white), elm (1 cord of American elm which is my favorite firewood to burn!) and a cord of a mix of junk (bass wood for starter and willow for the firepit). He hired a service to drop the trees and my son and I whittled 'em down to load into my truck to bring home to process.

Even though I've thought about selling the splitter, I probably won't. I think about selling a lot of things since my belief is that everything I own is for sale... for the right price!

This is most of it, but you can't see everything in the one photo as it goes around the fence corner, out of the picture.

We all get a laugh out of the CL idiots, but some are definitely worth a reply. That's where I got my splitter and all this wood from!

Free wood from a tree i cut down, you come cut it up and i will help load, will even give gas for the chainsaw



Not a bad deal, free gas and labor.....heh

 

[square1]

It would be a good deal even if it needed an engine. I have yet to see any cheap splitters around here.

Yeah, I thought so...
Met a very nice retired couple that upgraded splitters

WANTED: Free Seasoned Split Firewood
I am looking for free seasoned split firewood. I am willing to pick it up and take it off your hands.

Thanks!


Don't we all want this? I'm surprised he is willing to pick it up and not looking for free delivery too!

 

[KiwiBro]

Point them to the pile of seasoned and splitting rail road ties.

 

[Oldman47]

The guy is a saint doing that for you.

Not worth a response.

"Hi, Let me know if you would take 20$ cash for this ($60 item)."

(Well, maybe if I could deliver it too for that, and clean your bathroom while I am there?)

I think the part that annoys me more than the offensive, lowball offer, is the fact that people think that I would accept something other than 'cash' at the asking price?

Are they expecting to trade $60 in glass beads? Travelers checks? Stock options? A little surprised that they don't specify "American" money, instead of the pesos that I'm used to accepting. That would be worth it!

Buyer (e-mail): "call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx if you still have the leaf blower" (no name).
Me (I call - no answer).
Buyer (10 minutes later - calls): "Hello"
Me: "Hello"
Buyer: "Who is this?"
Me: "You just called me"
Buyer: "Your number was on my caller ID"
Me: "Oh, did you contact me about something on CraigsList?"
Buyer: "Maybe. What are you selling?"
Me: "Was it maybe about a leaf blower?"
Buyer: "Which one are you selling?"
Me: "A Ryobi"
Buyer: "Can you send me a picture of it?"
Me: "Um, it's in the ad, with all of the details about it . . . "

This is one that I think I will meet at Caribou if he sets up an appointment . . .

Have had the exact same thing to a TEE. Not sure what they are smoking.

yep smoking or pill popping. The effect is often the same. Drives me crazy!

 

[unclemoustache]

"Seasoned" it says! Not even split, and you can't even see any checks yet. Moron.

 

[unclemoustache]

Now this one is a good deal. I think I might get a few.
