Well at least they payed to have the tree cut down.

I have an Oak Tree in my yard that we are having taken done this weekend. This tree is is 70 years old and we figure it is about 75 feet tall. It has died off and needs to be removed for the safety of the house. A professional tree company is doing the removal. They are clearing the brush, but we have elected to keep the wood. The company has agreed to cut and stack the pieces to 18" in length. This thing is huge. The main trunk is 24" in diameter. Most people that burn firewood know that oak is the best for burning, because it burns hotter and longer. Ideal for wood burning stoves and furneces. Well anyway, having the tree removed is costing me an arm and a leg.
So I want to sell this wood off in one lump sum, one price take it all. They said we have about $1000 worth of seasoned ready to burn wood. I am willing to let it go for $700.

24" diameter is huge? lol
 
What the homeowner heard, "You have a thousand dollars worth of wood."

What the tree company said, "If you want us to cut it into 18" lengths and stack it, it'll be an extra thousand."

Free Grass Clippings

Grass Clippings......FREE (Pittsburgh)

FREE grass clippings. You must take all. You must cut, bag and remove the clippings. Feel free to use them however you like, provided you remove them from my residence. Use them in the garden to curb weed growth around your tomato plants or just enjoy the smell of decomposing grass. Once you have proved to me you are competent you are welcome to come back once a week and remove the new growth again. I can afford to pay you but I’m not going to. I am offering you the clippings for your work in removing them. Please be insured so if you hurt yourself in the removal or God forbid my property, I have recourse to seek damages. You Cut You Haul. First Come First Served.

Free fire wood. You cut down the tree and all of the wood is yours for free. Must be insured. ARE YOU NUTS??? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WORK AND LIABILITY THERE IS CUTTING DOWN A TREE. When a proffessionial cuts down a tree he will give you a couple of prices. One to cut it down and leave the mess on the ground or 2 Cut it down and remove all of the debris. A firewood salesperson purchases log loads that are about 18" in diameter and cut and split that for resale. No-one wants to handle 3 foot trees to split. Get real and pay someone.

Black Walnut Tree in My Yard and Its Worth Big $$$$

Here's your typical "I've got a black walnut tree in my yard" ad. Even though they say they know what its worth, they still haven't posted any dimensions (except for a guess of the height), a price, or even a picture. I bet their phone has been ringing non-stop with offers in the thousands of dollars. I wonder if by chance there are any powerlines or houses nearby???

ENJOY

I have a mature Black Walnut Tree with height approximately 50+ feet tall. Pictures, diameter and circumference will be listed as soon as can get a tape on it.

It is live and still planted and needs to be cut down. Perfect for woodworkers who use this type of rare and sought after wood for their projects.
We know what it is worth and are looking for a fair price that works for both of us.

Serious enquires only please.

"read" firewood scammer - $150 (ne ohio)

http://cleveland.craigslist.org/grd/2045016100.html
"READ" FIREWOOD SCAMMER - $150 (NE OHIO)
I want every one here to know the group that is listing themselves from NE Ohio and selling there fire wood as seasoned ready to burn oak for $150 a cord are ABSOLUTELY LIARS. I JUST spent $17.00 in log starter trying to burn 1 piece of wood. If they show up in a White pick up truck with a wood stakes 2 feet above the bed and the driver looks like he starred in DELIVERANCE His wood appears Dry and white but the it ahs a dark core 2-3" wide for the entire length of the wood Tell him to take it back or carve some new teeth out of it. These Scum bags have made off with my $170 for a cord hope they are happy I had planned on heating my family this month and cant even get it to smolder. I pray no-one else gets robbed like I did. Please do not buy
 
Isn't that nice that they'll pay for the gas when they use your truck for 1000 miles? I'd ask for a nice late model diesel with AC and a good sound system.
I can see if someone was going that direction, to help out someone, but they apparently want to just use the truck. never hurts to ask I guess.
