    I suspect it's edgebanding for cabinetry, with finger joints between the lengths, and worth a lot more than $50/skid to the right person.

    Indeed, but I'm guessing the market for rolls that big is pretty limited. Maybe it's damaged?

    That's an interesting find. The seller almost sounds desperate to get them out the door by saying burning them for heat instead of selling them for their intended use. Maybe they are damaged like Jon1270 said

    I just looked this up. They are a manufacturer of edgeband not far from here, about 50 miles east nearer to Scotty Overkill

    http://www.edgemate.com/index.htm

    I might pick some up for kindling if their process doesn't add glues or other chemicals.

    My buddy worked out there for years.....
    They make veneer products for cabinetry. Be a shape to burn that stuff, imagine the cost they have in making it!
