I was just curious about wood prices from across the country, this link is a somewhat local place I came across while looking up firewood prices. This is place is in SW IA.

that's pretty high for us. We pay about $100 for a rick here, delivered and stacked. There you'd pay $145 + $35.00 to stack it.

If you watch prices you can get it for $90
 
Averages 150 a cord, for Oak, Ash, Maple. You pick up.
180 delivered.

Seasoned two years, barn kept 65 a face cord picked up.

350 roughly for kiln dried.
275 + “seasoned”
180-225 green

Lots of demand up here this year. A lot of people blew through their wood in December, and we have had a lot of power outages. The weekend burners I think found themselves burning much more than anticipated.

I figured I would go through 3, 4 cords tops. Started burning the end of November and have probably hit close to or over 6 I would bet. Was 6 degrees Monday morning!

6 sounds quite refreshing. That’s quite a pile of wood to go thru, hope you have plenty stocked for future use.
 
here in mass so called seasoned is around 325 give or take 25 there is a lone 280 then green is 200 to 225. all hardwood. stacking is extra. unless you buy a grapple load. they are around 100 a cord. 128 cf.

Refreshing...yes lol.

I do have about 6-8 more cords for next year. Before I installed my stove I had been hoarding wood for a few years from my land scape business, so everything has been “free”.
Drove my wife crazy but now she gets it haha.

Edit: forgot to mention grapple loads of 7-9 cords are around 9-1000.
 
I've got a guy that sells truly seasoned mixed (70%hardwood/30%pine) wood (14-16%) for 150 a cord. He's not a business, just a guy that has some acreage and likes to do tree work on the side. He advertised once on CL and hasn't posted since, but I managed to get two cords off of him. There are probably only 15-20 cords total on his property, and he's mostly just using the extra income to upgrade equipment and offset his costs.

Most posts I see for are down to 150/cord for oak. Of course seasoned means it was cut in September and probably split yesterday. I see one post on CL for 190/oak cord delivered. Two months ago most of the oak postings were going for closer to 200/cord. Very few posts for pine.
 
We get some crazy prices where I am like this outfit at $600/cord. http://www.firewooddirect.ca/ But my favourite ad is "Hot Burning Firewood" (broken link removed to https://www.kijiji.ca/v-fireplace-firewood/oshawa-durham-region/hot-burning-firewood-sale/1237981209?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true) However if you shop around you can get a cord for $350 delivered

only paid for wood once, was 50 for a pickup truck rounded over, of green from an arborist like 12 years ago. seemed high to me then they charge people a ton to cut it and take it. these prices make me want to sell it
 
just looked on craigslist, million posts people doing it everywhere is the problem here, the farm down the road near town started selling too i see. 50 per face cord seasoned ash and maple and 100/cord, picked up yourself. not worth my expense and time. only do it for myself where you are comparing it against buying oil

the only thing i have seen for more is apple and cherry farms sell that like 150 per cord picked up, think people cook with that. i use the branches for the smoker
