After 26 days, someone finally figured out that their 'free / must take all' ad wasn't working so well:

We cut down 4 large trees, etc. and have plenty of fire wood on the ground for free. There is a 30'ft maple and 15' cherry tree roughly 14" thick for whoever wants them. Most of it is already cut for easy carrying but some still needs to be cut.

As the pictures highlight there is also a lot of branches that ARE "part of the FREE deal". You must take everything in the pictures.

The stuff is in the back yard, slight hill to the front and roughly 20" from where your truck/trailer can be parked.

Perfect for house firewood and then a large bonfire or camp fire.

We are in Greensburg by Hempfield High School.

If this post is still up then it is available.

First to email gets directions.

Wow, 20" away...they get quite exacting in truck placement??? LOL. I suspect it's 20'.
 
I suspect it's not worth a trip unless you're next door neighbors, own a chipper, and he's throwing in beer and smoked ribs on top of that 50 dollar removal fee.
 
$600 lol. Not even split.

Here's a good one

[Hearth.com] Craigslist laugh of the day.....

Charge $5 to pick up 8 little sections of pine...........nope.
 
More hilarity...

"Possibly a cord or two." - LOL. If so, I would need about 147 of his "cords" to get through the winter...

Wow, it really feels like nobody knows what a cord is.

Had a guy argue with me just this past weekend that a longbed pickup truck will hold a cord of firewood.

Even if it is 4 feet wide and 8 feet long, the day you can stack 4 feet high (not rounded but straight up) I will be impressed.

Even though the quality of the wood is comical, I'm more intrigued by the delivery method. I would LOVE to see someone try and fit that in the trunk of their car. Also are we talking honda civic or buick lesabre here, because the trunk volume differences could make or break the deal for me.

LOL. Yeah, I'm thinking if I show up with a 72 Pontiac Bonneville and you have a Smart Car, I'm making out while you and Frank here are getting hosed. ;lol Btw...do I get dibbs on what looks like a high quality oxidized-finish wheel barrow in the background? ;)

Unbelievable...I know it was a tough winter but even though I burn wood that pile of mess in the picture looks about like what I hauled off to the dump a few weeks ago. Who knew instead of paying to get rid of it, I could charge 25 bucks a piece for folks to come haul it off in the back of their BMWs. ;lol

Maybe I'd be more inclined to haul away this pile of trash if the price was only $450 or so...

I would gladly give them $500.00 for the pleasure of dousing that pile with kerosene and watching it go up as I sat there with a case of beer. Otherwise, he needs to pay $500.00 for a dumpster.
 
here's a good one. i wonder what's living in that pile.. wear your gloves!

Probably reeeeeeeaaaaaal close, though, I wouldn't doubt that was 115-120 cubic.

Probably closer than any human has ever gotten on an S10 :eek:

If he owned my truck and stacked it like that, it would be more than a cord.

I'm very impressed...........but I'll bet his suspension aint <>

"just take it all"

How 'bout you just pay to take it to the landfill or have a bonfire......

It is amazing how folks want you to haul away their trash for free.........

I did this with a piano, it was a player from my wife's grandparents. Player needed some work but as a piano it was great i just had no room for it. I wanted to burn the wood and scrap the brass, my wife was having none of that. I posted it to craigslist and said that it was free and i wanted to meet the child that was going to learn to play it. Met a nice couple with three kids, delivered it for $20 gas money. I wonder how well that kid is playing by now?
