Was on my way to town to the local stihl dealer today and come acrost this:

I think there's under 35 pieces there and they want $27.99 for it! (proberly plus tax cause NYS taxes everything including christmas trees)

 

[dave_dj1]

Funny thing is people will probably buy it!

 

[mellow]

I would give them the $27 and put the cart and wood in my truck and drive away.

 

[dave_dj1]

I was thinking the same thing, just to see the look on their face!

 

[colin.p]

Aw. I thought for sure it included the cart. I'd give them the 28 bucks for the tractor too.:msp_w00t:

Lowes here sells a .75 sq ft bundle for $5.00, and people buy it!

That's only about $850 per cord. For pine.

Prolly figure y'all short on firewood after super sandy knocked all yer trees over:msp_ohmy:

hahah, yea what kinda sense does that make? we have an overabundance of wood on the ground here and they're pricing it as if its sparse.

No one is getting their arm twisted to buy it! If it didn't sell, they wouldn't stock it. Free market!

Oh, the wreath holder is included with the wreath!

"This cart $27.99". Does that include the wood? :spam:

What'd you do to make the picture come out big? Also, I'd love to bring the wreath holder home, Good ol Farmall A

based on that price I have about a million dollars sitting in my backyard.

The Harvester and the cart need serious tire/tube work. Maybe to slow down folks like you? :msp_wink:

I think the cart must be included for that price. I would laugh at them while they unloaded the wood if it wasn't.

No different form $5 armfuls at gas stations around here. I know many people who burn that much every time they fill their stove.

i sell

I sell a little more that is in that cart for $20.00

Sold cords and cords that way.

I guess its time to cut the wood in half and up the price by 8 bucks.

Sign says

This Cart
$27.99

Better leave the wood in a pile.

 

[discounthunter]

same price is a good bottle of wine. saves buying a saw, possible a truck to haul wood, a tree to cut,something to split it with,place to store all the extra wood.

id pay 30 bucks for enough wood for a fire or 2.

Comeon what kinda discount hunter are ya! This is the opposite of a discount. According to my boss at the farm I sell my own split firewood for $110/cord picked up or $220/cord delivered and stacked. I'd charge someone $5 for a stack like that.

 

[sgt7546]

At one of the campgrounds we go to in the summer, they charge prices like that. I've actually talked to the owner about when/if I ever retire, moving onsite and being the "wood guy" for him.

We laugh at this, yet there will be a sucker somewhere, bragging to his friends in the livning room sitting by the fireplace, how he got "all this wood" for less than 28 dollars. The seller must barely be able to keep from laughing when someone stops to buy it, hell he could prolly charge even more if he put up a sign with it saying "no fossil fuel burned in the harvesting of this wood."
