Craigslist laughs?

First I see this...
Firewood Block Hardwood Delivered - TOTAL SCAM - $225 (Green)

Beware of this add stated as "square/rectangular blocks for $225.00! It is almost 2 cords. Trailer measures 8' x 10' x 4' delivery/dump locally included in price." TOTAL SCAM, when stacked measures less than 1 cord with 4 - 30 gallon trash cans of scraps. Seller (Dan) says no refunds and no more wood to fulfill his claim of "almost 2 cords. BEWARE - BEWARE - BEWARE

Then, further down the page...(read the whole ad)

Firewood Block Hardwood Delivered - $225 (Green)

will deliver one load of this untreated amish hardwood lumber, already in square/rectangular blocks for $225! Trailer measures 8' X 10' X 3' delivery/dump locally is included in price. Will consider further locations for a fuel surcharge. Its clean, no bugs and has been kiln dried once alrerady. Oak, Cherry, popular and Maple. This is not a scam- I bring you the wood as described. I have delivered this type of wood for years. The guy on Craig's List who says this is a scam is a idiot

Just got a bit of a chuckle about these two and their CL pizzin contest
For what it's worth there is no way a 8' x 10' x 3' loose dumped load of blocks is gonna stack out to two cords, maybe 1.25...

Guess this guy is a 7th grade girl since he is selling popular.

Dunno his area, but $225 for a bit more than a cord of kiln dried -- and that's going to stack much tighter in a cord than logs -- I'd be happy to buy it.

Love to see a scale ticket on that to do the math, but I'm guessing between being a little more than a cord, a tighter cord than ordinary firewood, and kiln dried you're darn close to the BTU equivalent of two cords of firewood logs that have seasoned for a year or so.

Good point

I'm surprised some of these people don't say "come grind my tree stump and you can keep the chips"

 

[johndeereg]

I'm tempted to reply and say I would love to cut that stump up and I'll let you clean our chimney for only 35.00!

I've done similar on CL a number of times, when I'm in a button-pushing mood. Usually, I get no response, but occasionally I'll get a response that's essentially just cussing me out to mind my own business. Then, there's the rare one that seems to take it seriously... Too much stupid to go around in the world it seems.

Best Firewood in USA - $4
Selected from arborist work; not from the cutting of whole, healthy trees. Nice mixture of ash, black cherry, hard maple, birch, red maple, white oak, red oak & hickory. Buy a little or buy a lot: all quantities are $4 per cubic foot, measured after you are loaded. Cut & split 16" or less in length. Easy level access next to blacktop road. Call early, late or anytime:

gee only $512/ cord. Course it is less expensive than the .75 cf at the gas station for $6 which is $1024/cord.

Here's one for ya! Half a suburban truck load or a full suburban truck load of wood, some of it might even be oak! Lol

I contacted that guy once, asked him how much he charges per cord.....He wouldn't quote me a price because he doesn't sell by the cord. When I asked how much wood he was fitting in his truck he couldn't give me an answer except "a bunch"......Im not usually the firewood police but his lack of interest was astounding

 

[Xjcacher]

Sounds like he might not like his neighbors very much.

 

[Deleted member 83629]

this is not a bad deal at for my area and we go by RICK not cord or chord.

[Deleted member 83629]

30 each if you buy 6+ http://bgky.craigslist.org/mat/4794971941.html

If his "ricks" are 1/3rd cord that is decent.
