Answered an add. The guy said he wanted a site cleared for a cabin and he wanted some trees removed and he wanted to sell them for firewood. Sounded good. I went and had a look. Guy meets me there. He says the sites back in the woods a few hundred yards. Okay, so far so good. We walk back and he starts pointing out trees he wants removed for a driveway. These trees were not big, but some of them had some decent saw logs in them. So I told the guy that he could sell some of these trees as timber and the small ones he wants gone would go out as firewood poles. Oh no he says, I dont want nothing to do with those timber guys, they will take it all, I didn't buy it to ruin it. (hey, whoa there, I'm one of those timber guys) I tell him he can mark what he wants taken, sell that much and that's all they will cut. Hes not having any of it. Okay, there his trees, its his call.
I tell him I can get them all out with a tractor. Oh no he says, no ruts. (Ground was a little wet in some spots) I tell him okay, Ill get a friend and we'll skid them out with horses. Oh no he says, they have to be cut up in here. I ask why. He says he dosn't want me selling the logs. I ask him if I make a deal with him and pay for the trees and he has his money in hand why does he care. He just does, and he wants them cut up in the woods. Then he says he wants to sell the woods by the load and I can only work if hes there.
Okay, fine, I need work and wood so Ill do it his way. We start talking price. He says a cord of firewood in Pittsburgh is going for 200 so that's what he is asking. I point out that Pittsburgh is 100 miles south of where we are standing and that's for firewood, these are standing trees, there's a difference. And also that my pickup (Ford Ranger)
does not hold a half cord let alone a cord. We haggled until I lost my patience and gave up. Wasted morning. I gotta stop answering these ads.

No, you gotta learn to politely excuse yourself after the first counter from people like these.

The challenge is not satisfying this (cultural/racial/slander typecasting flaming insult), its not letting him get under your skin....

saxono3,

You shot yourself when you told him any of the trees were worth anything.

Should have said the removal cost from a tree service would be $$$ but you were willing to remove them for the wood value.
And really the wood value is much less than any tree service would have charged him.
A cord of tree really isn't worth much. LOL

NO no no at that point would be (have a good day) and goodbye.
All done on email first

saxono3,

Yeah, you might have a point there.:msp_huh: But at that point I wasn't anticipating that kind of stubborn stupidity. I was was being honest with him and thought I could make a deal that would benefit us both. Well,,,,,,,,,I was wrong about that.:bang:

 

[haveawoody]

saxono3,

Yeppers and who would expect to arrive at a place of crazyness.LOL
A little jolt of a 6k tree service bill i find always ends that crazyness, and really if you think about it that is what he probably would have to fork out for a few 100$ worth of wood rounds set just how he liked and all ready for him to split himself and sell.

With all the BS red flags i bet any tree service would say more like 10k upfront, or just depart when the first red flag went up. LOL

I am willing to take in trade tree cutting services, or services of a carpenter, builder, electrician, etc.for Martial Arts Lessons.

in my front yard that needs to be shortened, or maybe also cut down.

received Martial Arts instruction from a much higher source for over 30 years.

Anyone that desires to know the really meaning and techniques of a martial art
should take advantage of this opportunity.

Just send me an email of your skill and desire for the trade.

I helped a friend clean up some local storm damage today. I don't need any wood right now, and he mentioned posting it on CL as a 'Free Firewood' ad. I offered him suggestions based comments posted here:

- show photos of the actual wood;
- describe the condition accurately (in this case - box elder, cut, but not split or seasoned);
- tell people that they do not have to take everything, but cannot leave a mess.

I also suggested that he stack it in the driveway so that woodboogers don't try to drive across his yard.

I don't need any box elder either, but your advice will probably make the pile disappear more quickly. It will at least keep your friend off this page.

That's exactly the point. Some people would not want it for free; some would be happy to have it As long as both sides are up front about it, there should be no reason for anyone to complain.

Man if that wood round is worth $350.00 bucks were all rich! That's some good news right there.

But "We cut and shape the trunk to achieve balance and stability. The natural styling creates versatility so it blends with rustic, traditional and modern designs." Definitely worth it.

I wonder how many would make a cord of firewood. I could have a balanced and stable woodpile with natural styling that blends nicely with my rustic, traditional and modern designed woodlot.

 

[trophyhunter]

Hey that thing is worth the money, cause "The stool can also be used as an end table, display pedestal or plant stand." I mean who wouldn't want to own several of them? Tell ya what anybody wants a few I'll beat any advertised price, you pick up. :msp_biggrin:
