Craigslist laugh of the day.....

$50 for poplar and I have to cut it, and load it, and haul it, and split it, and stack it? Something tells me this isn't so "Popular" after all.

New hybrid firewood.....green & dry at the same time!

Details are likely left out intentionally such as type of wood, how many, are the trees on the ground yet.

I suppose you could take the firewood, then at the end when they ask if you plan on cleaning up, reply "Yes sir, I shall bathe as soon as I get home".

"Im looking to trade firewood you cut for a tractor. Tractor needs to be in the ford 9N size range. Not looking for a big tractor. Would like it to have a loader and or back blade. If I had to pick one I would prefer a loader. But open to the right deal. There is ash, hard maple, aspen and red oak. Most are tops from logging but for the right deal I have some standing trees I will part with. I know what the wood is worth and also know what tractors are going for"

Don't let this deal pass you by; all you have to do is give him a tractor and he'll let you clean up left over tree tops in his woodlot.

Very few of the posts on this thread really make me laugh... but this one takes the cake! Amazing.

I think he's using the firewood wrong!

My contribution:

Lest the line become disorderly with fighting over the brush that didn't fit in his yard waste bin, remember this stuff is first come, first serve.

"I know what the wood is worth"

Yeah, me too. Not much at all. The value of a Tree, especially for firewood is about $0. The value is in the labor it took to process it into a usable product.

That reminds me of a guy a few years back who had a dozen or so medium sized Black Locust trees in a clearing on his property that he wanted removed. He asked me If I was interested and I said sure. He then asked how much I'd give him for them.. Nothing. Sorry. I drove by his house a few weeks ago and his priceless Locust trees are still there.

I don't pay to work.

[Mr. Jones]

Oh, this guy is a winner!

100% GUARANTEE OAK no mixed hardwoods -Seasoned and ready to burn.

Lot of Oak firewood.

1/4 cord $100

1/2 cord $180

1 cord $320

Well, I see prices are up this year! WAY up. At least for a few sellers. Most are still running $200-$250 a cord. The reputable sellers, anyway. And that "100% oak?" And "seasoned and ready to burn? Look at his pictures and tell me what you think:

 

[LocustPocust]

$320 a cord? Yeah right.

I can't imagine wood would season very well tarped up so tight like that. I bet a lot of that wood is growing mold.

All wood is "seasoned"... cut a few weeks ago when It was a different season.

At least he put a tarp over it. But yeah that was just split last week.

Not going to post his ad and advert or out the the guy but how 'bout this?

Great quality firewood for sale (Well-seasoned, ready to burn, average of 8" to 12" long.
Mixed hardwood, oak, maple, mulberry, ash, cherry, locust.
1 STOVE cord (8" to 14" pieces x 4'H x 8'L) (approx. 150 pcs.) - $120.00 - Cash only!, $130 - Pay Pal or Visa.
to convert to full cord see explanation below:
Wood stacked and wrapped in plastic on the premises for $30.00 (1 to 2 stove cords); $50 (more than 2 cords).

So according to him he can deliver you his 4'x8' "Stove" cord of 8" pcs for $120. That's $720 a cord.

This is his explanation of a cord and why the stove cord is used. Guess he figgers we is too stoopid to get it.

A 'full' cord measures 4 ft. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. and is the official, standard firewood measure. But four foot pieces are never used for home heating, and dealers rarely sell four foot pieces. So firewood is not offered for sale in the form of its official unit measurement. This is why buying firewood can be confusing.

Other terms, such as face cord, stove cord or furnace cord are used to describe a stack of wood measuring 4 ft. high, 8 ft. long with a piece length shorter than 4 ft. The most common firewood piece length is 16 in., or one-third of a full cord, but other lengths are also available.

Then he says be careful buying wood you might get ripped off!

A 'full' cord
Forest Firewood sells what they call a 'face cord' for $100. You find that the pile is 4 feet high and 8 feet long, with an average piece length of 16 inches. Divide this length (16 in.) into the full cord length of 48 in. and multiply by the price.

Therefore, Forest Firewood sells firewood for $300 per cord.

If possible, avoid buying firewood in units that cannot be related to the standard full cord. Station wagon loads or other units are difficult to compare and can conceal a high price per cord measure.
