I tend to be the suspicious type... that kind of a trade sounds like the saw is stolen... hes only asking for about $40 in equipment...

that equipment for growing indoors is for a hydroponic setup and the ballast alone start at 600.00

Oak Logs. felled tree this spring. Got any ideas what you can do with a big hunk of oak ?

Log 1. 20"x 6.5" $50 can cut in half or quarter etc....
Log 2. 12"x 4' $35 " " " " "

I hate to burn the good stuff! How about some chain saw sculpture. A crafty bench.....

By my math, that's less than 1/4 cord of wood after cut and split - 18 cu ft as it sits - so 85*4=$340/cord ... maybe I should sell this way? Of course, some aspiring chainsaw artist will probably gladly pay that for it.

It's funny how the market is in different areas. I recently posted an ad on CL trying to sell about a half of a dump trailer full of all oak limbs for $50 delivered and didn't get one single call or email about it.

http://jackson.craigslist.org/hsh/1344098091.html

I already have more than enough firewood to sell all winter long but I just hate to throw away good wood like this.

I haven't decided if I'm going to cut it up or just get rid of it.

I actually have about that much more from a job I just did all red oak limbs.

Not to be too argumentative about it - maybe the specific equipment the dude was willing to trade for was that expensive - but I just saw someone selling New In Box hydroponic setup for $40 on CL...

Either way. I'm just a skeptic conspiracy theorist. :monkey:

Sitting on our boulevard in front of 214 E 58th Street, Minneapolis, MN. Just cut down parts of trees. Will delete posting when gone.

Yowza. In the city, and probably a city owned tree no less - given that it says it's on the boulevard....

 

[Philbert]

That address is in part of the city that was hit by a tornado about a week ago. Stacking debris on the boulevard is common practice as the city clean up contractors are usually not allowed to enter onto private property after a storm/tornado/flood. Not sure if he missed the free pickup that the city provided or was just offering it to make it available.

for sale: seasoned (1 yr 1 m) hard maple log, about 24' long, 5' around at the top, 8' around near the bottom...this broke off a giant maple tree during a storm last july (2008)...i'd say almost 1 cord firewood, or could be milled for boards,,,,very heavy, very hard, very nice color and patterns...you cut up and haul away...$200/bo

i also have some seasoned red pine logs from a tree that fell at the same time...i was thinking $5 per 8 foot log (most over 8" diameter)...price negotiable based on quantity...

Ya know I think i misread it. I was thinking they wanted it "just cut down" but reading your comment, I now think it WAS just cut down. My oops.

Who pays $29.52 each for ostrich eggs? opcorn:

 

[ironman_gq]

I can see it a lot of people get them painted and empty em out to make a decoration. not to mention that one of em holds about 2 dozen normal eggs. still not worth 30 bucks but maybe 10

29 bucks for an egg ,i know they are big but that seems a tad high lol i think id rather buy caviar and lobster for breakfast

I've had a few Craig's list gems.

The most memorable was the one for "Free Hardwood." I called and found out there was another fellow already looking at it. Oh well, then I was told if he didn't feel comfortable dropping it I could have the wood. What??

Ok! I'm new to this list. I was looking for info on an OWB and happen to stop here for a few laughs. I thought I've seen it all until a read a few of these. if he didn't feel comfortable dropping it I could have the wood. Gott'a be kidding...
