    Two from Atlanta today:

    First one:
    TREES NEED TO BE CUT, WHILE YOU SIT ON YOUR BUTT? Really? for free? (everywhere)

    (google map) (yahoo map)

    Do people really come and get all the free trees that someone posts "to be chopped down, split, removed and cleaned up after?"

    I suppose if you own a pine furniture company that sells to the wine barrel and bistro cottage furniture co., or the Log Furniture store catalogue, then you will rush right over and take those trees in a snap. I saw one ad with trees that were 6 feet in diameter! Yep, let's down that bad boy and load it up and take it home to Ma.

    I love silly ads. Water front property in Kansas, anyone?


    Then #2 sort of in response:

    Free Lesson on Trees (Atlanta)
    © craigslist - Map data © OpenStreetMap
    (google map) (yahoo map)

    Used to be people could sell all their pine trees off their property and make enough money to pay for their land. In today's time, the market isn't good to sell the trees. If people want to get rid of them, they offer them to mills for free.

    The mill owner used to pay for trees. Now he gets them "free". Imagine that?

    He picks them up and he can make approx $60-$75 dollars a tree. Not too bad if he gets them for free huh? If you don't like the ads listed for free tress then don't read them.

    If you knew about the business, you would know it was a good deal to get trees for "free".


    It's an epidemic!
