This local, organic Christmas tree could be YOURS! Hand cut from a farm in Michigan.
Makes a great addition to any home! Great source of oxygen!
Around 7ft tall, huge. So freaking huge we don't want it anymore.

no tree to big,
Lol i read that add a couple times to be sure i was reading it.
A live cut tree from Michigan.
Hmm does cut mean it's a living fossil? LOL
It's organic though so that means it's special, and free oxygen who doesn't want that
To bad it didn't come with the Sombrero i bet 1/2 the people here would be fighting for it if it did.
I'm drooling over this baby, wonder if they will include what they had before the post (it's a done deal if they do)

Gives new meaning to the term "local." Michigan is at least an hour away from Chicago.

Found a new wood measurement!
Another regional variation, and, depending on the stacking job, might be an appropriate description:
fire wood $45. a reck

I had a guy call me the other day and leave a messgae on my cell after seeing my ad for wood/logs in the free section of CL. He said that he had 3 downed trees on his property and wanted them removed and if I was interested, I could call and he would give me a price. Unless this guy was hard up for money, I would be doing him a favor by removing the trees, so I wasn't about to pay for doing something that somebody would have otherwise charge for.

Just finished one a week or so back that I had been watchin' on CL for over a month. The OP kept updating every couple of days or so and dropping more and more of their demands. Wish I had kept it but it started out something like:
Valuable timber - poplar hardwood - very large logs, over 4' in diameter - great for furniture maker or woodworker - already cut to lengths and ready to P/U. Call w/ offer. Must be licensed and insured. Must have crane/hoist to properly move/handle, must have saw with bar bigger than 4', etc.
Within a few weeks, the "licensed and insured bit disappeared, along with the part about making an offer. When finally it started to look like they were pleading, and I was gettin' bored anyway, I figured I'd give a call (they were also just a couple of miles down the road).
Turns out the rather gruff older lesbian who had run the ad had already had a tree company limb and buck the tree, as well as move it all right to the curb. There was evidence on several of the logs of what appeared to be 14-16" Poulan/Homelite beavers whittling at the 40"+ dia. 4' long logs... to no avail. The homeowner then advised that her neighbor was going to take them if I didn't, so I thanked her and left. Before I got two blocks she called me back and asked was I still interested. I explained that I had no use for them other than as firewood, (gave her the "Highly Valuable Black Walnut Tree" story and explained that the poplar wasn't hardly worth the energy to haul and split. Ended up with her payin' me $200. I rolled 'em onto my trailer, slabbed some out and stickered for drying, and the rest I'll probably burn.
People crack me up sometimes.

free vacuum bags (hickory)
Free vacuum cleaner bags, ideal for cleaning your house. All you have to do to get them is use my vacuum cleaner in my home, and once the bag is full, you can take the bag home. You're welcome to empty them out and reuse them, or get creative with recycling. Maybe you could spray them with epoxy and make bird houses out of them.

Just FYI, occasionally people will use leaves as bedding for animals.

Man, don't you know, a cord is whatever the seller wants to call a cord 
If it's a face cord (usually 1/3 of what we know here to be a cord) that's not a bad deal. Those look like 4'x4'x4' thrown pallets, probably about 1/3, maybe 1/4 if the pallets are smaller. Not a bad deal for someone with money and a neat-freak nagging wife
