GOT WOOD?
Having been told that those little bundles of firewood that you can buy in stores are about 1 cubic foot of wood!,,,,, That provoked me into doing a comparison,as I sell it in bulk.,,,,,
1 True cord of firewood has 128 bundles @ less then $1.50 a bundle at $190/cord
1/2 Cord has 64 bundles at about $1.56 per bundle at $100 per/ 1/2 cord
A Face cord has about 42 2/3 bundles @ $1.76 per bundle at $75/ Face Cord
1/4 Cord has 32 bundles @ about $1.88 per bundle at $60/ 1/4 Cord
If there charging $5 a bundle, thats $640 dollars a cord,,,,, It can save as you more then $450 dollars a cord if you buy it in bulk!
Got Wood?
(This free ad on Craigs List was all I needed to sell 20 cords)
My .02 cents worth,,,,,
I would drop the idea of affordable firewood, maybe it's just me, but I sold out of wood as it was, to do this year over, I would target a more upper end market.
This year I hope to gear to the Customer that don't use the word "price" in there first sentence.
Closing a sale by asking how they would like there wood sorted as you can match it to there needs of a fireplace or small small stove will usually end there search and set up a time for delivery.
