I just had to share this. The Title of this ad is "Furniture Maker's DREAM wood" ... it's the poster who's dreaming:
(broken link removed to http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/mat/1440969650.html)
They want $600 for green pine rounds, cut to firewood length. There is nothing left in lumber length, yet they think someone would pay $50 / round to use for furniture.
I've seen a lot of stupid or greedy ads on C/L, but this one is one of the greediest.
body of ad in case they come to their senses and pull it (or it gets flagged as abusive):
*************
We just cut down the giant 50 years old pine tree. There are many ( about 15 ) large pieces of wood ideal for making unique tables, chairs, stools, clocks or other artistic designs. The sizes vary, up to the largest diameter of 38 inches. They are a lot of 32 inch pieces. There are also many smaller pieces that can be used for firewood.
You can buy them individually for $50.00 or you can buy them ALL for $600.00
This tree was in great shape, but we needed to cut it because it was TOO big and the roots were damaging our driveway. Don't miss this chance. Not many huge trees are cut down each year.
First come, first served. Please contact us soon. it won't last long.
Location: Glendora
it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
*************
I'm not gonna repost their pics ... it's just green pine rounds after all.
Peace,
