Would you buy this?

[mwhitnee]

What kind of wood is this?? You think it's worth it? Free delivery. $100.00

"Approx. 1/2 plus cord of hard wood no pine. A variety of diameters. About 5X2X8 about 80 cubic feet. See picture, what you see is what you get. This is the actual load. When this load is gone. Others available."

 

[CombatChris]

No price?

 

[mwhitnee]

I'm sorry $100 edited original post...

 

[Mr. Jones]

So $200 a cord "ish". What's the current going rate for a cord of hardwood there? If he's got multiple more loads, it wouldn't hurt to see if he'd take $80 a load.

 

[claydogg84]

Definitely not 1/2 cord. I wouldn't give him $50 for it. Can't you get split hardwood delivered for $200/cord?

I think I could get green mixed hardwood $175-200 a cord around here.

That was my thought. I would probably pay $80 if I knew what wood it is. Thing is it still needs cutting and splitting, so you have to take that into consideration.

Yup. I'm new at this not a good eyeballer. Thank you very much.

 

[Babaganoosh]

I'd offer him 40. 100 bucks? Yeaaaaah. Get out of town buddy. Split, stacked, and him handing me a 6 pack I wouldn't pay a hundred. I hate paying for wood. I'd rather spend the money on eco bricks.

Thanks glad I asked this stupid question lol

 

[Babaganoosh]

The get out of town was for the guy trying to get 100 for that wood. Lol.

Wasn't a stupid question. If you really need it buy it. If not offer him 40 at the most

Oh I know I know haha. Nah I don't need it. I'm just trying to be proactive about getting more wood

I should be good for this year and mayyyy-be next, but I need to start looking around. I keep playing phone tag with a friend he has a lot, gotta get there soon.

 

[barmstrong2]

Looks like a pickup truck load of oak uglies. Fresh cut, even.

 

[Wisneaky]

I definitely don't think its worth more than $50 and I still wouldn't buy it because it is not split.

 

[NordicSplitter]

Offer him $100 only if delivered or $75 if you have to pick it up.

$100 was delivered

 

[MaintenanceMan]

Around this area that would be an extremely high price. Can't speak for your location though..

 

[Boiler74]

Keep in mind too that that truck bed dump insert has sloped sides to fit between the wheel wells. So that's not even a truck bed full load.

 

[prezes13]

Yeah pick up load of green unsplit uglies, no way Jose. Maybe $20, just for gas.

 

[STIHLY DAN]

For free yes, money no.

 

[Corey]

Seems a bit suspicious to me, he says that is the "actual load" you get, but the date on the photo is 4/27/15 and the trees in the background appear to be bare. So either the date on the camera is wrong and it really is "that" cold / that far into fall winter in central Mass now, or he has been hauling that load around for 6 months, or the poster is full of BS.

Also hard to tell from that angle, he says 5x2x8...that would be a long bed truck? I also know when wood is stacked 'criss-cross' like that, it really condenses down once split / stacked in orderly rows. So possibly half a cord?

 

[mwhitnee]

See I'm glad I asked you guys at least I'm learning something.

 

[NewHarmanOwner]

As many have said here, that truck look definitely doesn't have 1/2 cord of wood. Probably a bit more than 1/3.

 

[Seanm]

I measured my short box one day and allowed for some heaping in the middle and it came out to .41 of a cord. Thats with no side rails.
edit, and yes thats stacked not tossed.

 

[Chimney Smoke]

Less than half a cord of green rounds and uglies for $100, no thanks.

 

[Z33]

I second the 20 dollar number. The wood isnt worth much until its split, the money is in the labor
