Absolutely amazing. Lets just hope "devin" wasn't at the top of his class.

2x2x8 comes out to 32 cubic feeet. One Third of a cord

Or, in this case, 1/4 of a cord.

6-8, or 2, what's the big deal?

Nothing wrong with the price or the wood, but at the end we have:

"Since the government doesn't have a bailout plan for the firewood business and a tree fell on my Husqvarna saw, I must raise capital for equipment replacement, (rookie mistake i know) now is your opportunity to save!"

 

[WetBehindtheEar]

Or, in this case, 1/4 of a cord.

RIGHT!!! :fart:

Looks like I can't do math either. My BIG bad.

I know some of the ads seem outrageous on first take ~ and they are ~ but, I'm wondering if there are some folks out there who really need help and they just don't know how to ask for it. They are doing the best they can in wording their craigslist ads.

There are probably 30 examples of real doozies. Although, their may be one sincere person in those 30 "doozies" who is really "up against the wall," and they don't know what else to do.

Just a thought. I know thinking gets me into trouble sometimes, but decided to pass this along.

20' Birch Tree For Sale $25 - Canton - $25 (Canton)

I have a 20' birch tree (perfect shape with 4" trunk) that I would like removed from my property (I'd guess such a tree would cost $200/$300 from a landscaper). I'll sell it for $25, but it will have to be removed with a spade. If I don't sell it, I'm cutting it down on November 14th.




I love the last sentence (If I don't sell it, I'm cutting it down):greenchainsaw:

This one is picky.

Probably shows up with a moisture meter and tape measure.

6 Ton Compact Log Splitter - $50 (Chesterfield)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reply to: [email protected] [?]

Compact machine applies 6 tons of pressure to split logs over 2 ft. long. Affordable price makes it ideal for the homeowner.


Maximum log capacity: 27'' long x 8'' diameter

Brand new never used.

Brand New.......wonder why they never used it....

that picture they show is great....I want to see it split that log....junk

 

[kevin j]

lots of force.
cycle time mesured with a day planner not a stop watch.....
several of those CL around here. also the ones with two long hand levers for 'faster cycling'....

and the arguments go on about + or - a few tons, or a few seconds. Any splitter is a real blessing compared to those deals.



and the fun keeps coming:

You guys have to cut and past the actual ad since the original poster often deletes the ad when ever.

[Dalmatian90]

I have 3 red oaks in my front yard that will be cut next week. 3 of them are 36" at the base and one is 12". One tree is currently cut and you are welcome to get that this weekend. the others will be next week.

Get cord wood for less than half the price! 2 and half short bed trucks should give you a cord of wood.

Short bed $50 6x4x2
Long Bed $65 8x4x2

or take it all for $750. There should be a least 5-6 cords

http://worcester.craigslist.org/grd/908400541.html

Is it just me, or does it seem to be a bit less then 6 cords between the felled tree and the two others standing in the middle?
