pallet wood here abouts will bring 30.00 ish/ton - sent a trailer of 'crosstie' to it's mill today, woods run, rough- white oak-red oak-sweet gum-hickory- in 9' + 18' lengths, no double heart, can also mix in yellow poplar in standard log lengths to make up the load- low 50's /ton. Nice way for landowner to get rid of larger less valuable at a pretty fair $ IMO...

I talked to a tie buyer here in Missouri (Bunker) a couple weeks ago. They were paying either $21.50 or $22.50 for a 7"x9" 8'6" tie. They bought other sizes as well. The prices averaged about $.50 a board foot for ties delivered to them. The ties had to be hardwood and heart cuts. I'm not sure on this but I think pallet lumber only pays in the $.30 or so board range. Mills usually cut the 1xs off the edges to get to a tie. Hope this helps. Call some tie companys and see if they are buying. Same goes for pallet mills. give a few a call.
