You say it's a reasonable price and UNLIKE SOME, I won't assume you're not smart enough to what the wood there is worth.
If the cottonwood and poplar are not dry inside already, it does dry fast after being split.

I sell lots of poplar and other firewood dealers in the area think I'm a shyster but my customers know what I got and know what they want.

I throw it in the stove and burn it so I dodn't give a rats ass what it is.

Anal tools anyway. Cheez.

it was strange that as soon as I leave for college a nice gas splitter shows up in the yard...

That is funny. The day I hooked up the 3 pt rototiller the first time was the day I thought it was strange that my parents had me use that crappy running front tine snapper all those years.
 
I love my poplar in the shoulder months and throw some in over the winter too so I really don't know why someone would say they'd rather burn money.. that's being a fool. Poplar, like elm, can be extremely difficult to split by hand. Some of our rounds are about 2' wide and need the splitter without a doubt.
