Math and Market challenged on CL

[Archie]

I'm tempted to email this guy to see if he's had any takers. Nice wood, but what a price! And an anti-discount for volume purchase, to boot!

That's funny.It looks just like the Black Cherry I scrounged on local CL for FREE in late April,very close to same dimensions also..Should end up with close to $500 after milling the rest into blocks/slabs for woodturning,carving etc.Keeping a few for myself too.

Sounds like that "Washington DC math" alright.

Can't decide what the seller has in mind.. Are they thinking the rounds are for a woodworker who will turn bowls or somesuch with it? If they manage to sell about half of it at $25 ea, they could buy a cord. Interesting.

Holy Crap!! So much wrong with that ad. It says right in there it's for firewood. I think it should have been turned into lumber, but it STILL probably would not have been worth $500. Must be a case of "Since it's mine, it MUST be worth a premium."

That's D.C. math. Their looking for a government buyer. Bet its more than one congressman looking at that thinking what a great deal!

The price is ridiculous, obviously, but WOW those are some beautiful rounds. I would love to get those, for free though!

Yeah. Definitely precision cut with a laser!

I thought I was bad with my precise cuts? Makes my work look amateur.

I'd sell lots if I could get even close to those prices. Ha! Fat chance.
