Very valuable trees

I ran across this on CL today and had to laugh so thought I would share.

I replied to the listing and sent them a link to this video that helps people understand just how valuable these trees are.

If only I were a little closer...and he wasn't so insistent on the crane - I'd rather use a helicopter to log those. Certainly there is an OSB mill not too far away that would be happy to pay that coin to chip them

Tulip tree... whose wood is widely used in crematorium coffins because it's so damn cheap and burns so easily... clearly worth every single penny and a whole lot of effort.

I don't think that tree would be worth more than $25 if it was in the middle of the woods and those woods were being logged.
