Good evening everyone. I have a question about selling red oak logs. There is a gentleman near me that occasionally buys logs to mill and sell. I have 9 logs 16.5' long (per his request) they are all pretty straight and have few knots. I called him to find out what he would pay before I hassle with loading and hauling them. (They are yard trees but I have not seen any purple or black spots yet.) He said he would pay 40-45¢ per board foot. I have 2 logs on the ground now and 1 measured 22" at the small end and the other measured 18" at the small end. The rest are very similar in size. Does his price sound fair? I'm not looking to get rich but I don't wanna mess around and get a couple hundred dollars for 9 logs. I'd rather feed my OWB. Thanks for any input you throw at me...
