What would you pay? or would you bother...

Holy smokes that's a ransom for a cord of wood! I'm glad I live in a hardwood forest at times....

How's it going down there in LaCrosse FB?

Chicago suburbs, lotta people don't know why they want oak, but they want it, and have the shekels to pay for it, gotta love it.

Nice! I should sell some of my wood. I have the time and the long box pickup. I have lots of dry split wood. But up here the scrounge is easy and only a few buy their wood. I did sell a cord to cabin owners from the Chicago area who couldn't find anyone to deliver to them. I delivered and stacked it just a block away for $120. Mostly Maple but about 10% Red Oak.

I would do it.
Oak might be easy for some people but when you buy it, you either pay extra for all oak or you barely get any at all in a mixed cord.
When I was buying I barely came across it.
And it really is the best wood to heat with.

All my customers want oak so I try to not waste my time with other trees unless it's for my personal stack. I just bought 2 cords of oak from a homeowner for $150, he is moving. It's been split and stacked for 3 years. Wood goes for $180 per cord around here plus delivery. I am going to check the moisture content tonight, I sell my wood by the cord with a moisture content reading on a fresh split. So far I am the only one in my area doing that, most I see sell by the unknown truck load.

Not bad, just starting to get cutting. Golfing is winding down, but we played 18 holes today and yesterday.

I turned him away, the wood was not that great! some rotten and covered in dirty.I found another seller selling unseasoned ash & maple for $150 a cord free stacking with a 2 cord order, it will take all the guessing away. Don't need the wood this year!

That will be plenty ready for next year. I'm just loaded on Ash and Maple. It's kind of annoying.

Where in Wisco are you? I go up to the Kenosha/Mil. area pretty often, If you're up to it I might be able to borrow a trailer and buy cords off you (wholesale prices) and turn this into a profitable enterprise...win/win for both of us eh?

Moisture content came in at 15% in a fresh split, getting it for $70/cord. I wish he had more. I may keep this stuff for myself, hate to resell it.

I'm way up in Winter in Sawyer County, a long ways from Miwaukee. And my wood isn't really made for selling. I cut in different lengths and its a bunch of different hardwoods mixed but it is mostly Maple. I can't tell you if its soft or hard Maple, just Maple.
