BTW a couple of forum members have admitted trolling Craig's list while researching various theories about wood 'buyers' and 'sellers'. A lot of jokesters on there, apparently. But also some real deals. It's amazing what you can find, "get this stuff out of here", "one man's trash, another man's treasure", etc.

Let us know if it works out.
I think I was just the convenient fool, as I never did receive an address in the first two emails. I did ask. If the guy had not shown up, I may have been the alternate. How likely is that with Locust?Very well written response! The gentleman arriving around 10am tomorrow appears to only need a portion of the wood as he is headed to Virginia in a pickup truck. There should be at least 3-5 cords worth of Cherry & Poplar remaining.
If you wish to come by prior to 10am, I will offer you the first batch as desired.
Who knows- maybe I got lucky and avoided getting rolled for my wallet and/or vehicle in some dark corner of Potomac, MD. :coolgrin: :bug:Hurry! Come over tonight and get that other guy's free Locust wood!

The Craig's List ad you posted was followed by this, from the same guy. Yours was at 4:11AM, this one was at 5:52PM the same day. Looks like maybe a cord or maybe 2 at most. Looks like half of it is Poplar. So the deal was for real, although the seller wasn't. But thanks for putting it out anyway.
Free Poplar, Cherry, & Locust Wood (Potomac)
