$550.00 for 1.5 cords of cherry, and they won't even stack it!

Looks like about a cord and not seasoned unless they sprinkled salt and pepper on the load.
 
Said he needs a 30" saw to finish that? Really?

Yeah... sounds to me like he would be better served to get some proper education on how to run a saw.

He can't calculate or run a saw...but it's FREE.
 
Maybe this should be in Gear, but he wants to trade for 3 cord, delivered. I replied I might go 2-2.5 and he said 3 is a fair trade when they go for 550-650 on eBay. I told him good luck

So, am I nuts or is he? Maybe $500 isn't a bad price for the saw, but 3 cord seasoned, delivered to me is worth a lot more than that, thus me offering 2ish tops

That saw is fairly clean.. I'd say it's worth $450-$500. Split & truly seasoned firewood sells for $220/cord here, and should be similar in your location. I'm with you - 2 Cords quality seasoned hardwoods delivered for the saw is fair.

For all the crap we give to craigslist, sometimes you can hit gold.

I laughed at this one because I saw it within an hour of posting, live within 15 mins, and love splitting white oak. Yet I was 6 hours away in Mississippi. <> Sometimes you can only chuckle.

Could always try to see if they would hold it for you...
 
Nothing wrong there if he is really cutting it up for you. Hope he has insurance!
Did he drop the tree on the house ? Sure looks like it.

"Got a bunch of dry Pine wood for burning, deal is if you want it you have to take it all.
If you need help loading the wood, I can be of service but you'll need to haul the lot away yourself.
If you plan on making multiple trips to take it all away, you'll need to leave someone behind as insurance you won't just take what you want and run."
