You most be a better negotiator than me because all the tree guys I talk to want money for their logs, at least on my side of town, and I offer to pick up. I drive by one yard all the time that has logs piled up, but nope, he wants cash.
But you are right, I am picky about which ads I follow up on being in Atlanta.
Crap, Bro. You had me looking up the town of Jawja in GA trying to figure out what I was missing. I was missing something alright.
I've never had any luck on craigslist for firewood. Too many guys looking on the good deals. I scored my best scrounges from word of mouth when people saw the 15 cords on my small suburban lot. Even the town chairperson called me when the township needed downed trees moved. I've since moved to a location where my stacks are hidden, but I have my own woodlot and a neighbor's woodlot for harvesting downed trees.

Hey, that's finally a good deal. I've seen that guy posting for a while and he had been asking $399, but I'm sure someone will pounce now that it's $389.

Or I will pay you $500 for the wood, after you pay me $3,000 for the work to make in into firewood. We can work it either way, your choice
The "Insaurses" were a little known breed of tree eating dinosaur.

I knew you guys would appreciate that one.
I've been meaning to write the guy and let him know is what he's describing is a professional tree-cutting service followed-up by a tree grinder service and then a landscaper.
All we have to do is be fully insured, chop down his tree, pack up all of the over and undergrowth, grind down the stump, fill it in with top soil and then re-seed his lawn.... all while attempting NOT to be eaten alive by the evil insaurses.
Good luck, dude.

Better jump on it. Hallow wood is holy wood. It's sacred stuff. Never seen it before on craigslist.

What area of Atlanta are you in? If you are on the North side I have two guys up here that will drop it off. One I give a little gas money to and the other is happy to dump it so he doesnt have to pay for it. If you are up here let me know and I will pass on their numbers.

If I had any paranormal activity surrounding my wood shed or stacks, I'd be all over this.

depending on the trees and degree of difficulty, this could be a reasonable deal for somebody in the business.
I say "could be" because I'm not in that business, but this is not an automatic laugher.
Fair enough.. There is no picture, so it's hard to tell. Though, given the area of Troy, it's likely a group of yard trees.
I'm always wary of the "I know what they are worth" posts.
