I just had to say something

I don’t normally get involved with prices on classified adds but I just couldn’t keep quiet about this one seller is asking 185.00 for the load

 

Yes, that's not a full cord. Probably a face cord.

 

Everybody and his brother have wood for sale right now.
Here's one from a couple of days ago...….
I wonder if the Holiday week bundle was on Black Friday sale today?

 

They want $185 for 1/3 of a cord of ponderosa pine....?

 

I wonder if the seller even knows what a cord is, let alone the potential buyer. Takes all of 30 seconds to search the size/volume of a cord of wood. I should maybe bore some splits & put a little copper in. Could sell it as special holiday wood, makes "pretty" flames. $ 250.00 per truckload.

 

I new a guy a few years ago (a face cord was less expensive then, around $60 for a face cord of mixed hard wood here, that was if you picked it up, $25 was the going delivery charge if you had 1 or 2 face cord delivered, and the wood was not truly seasoned). Any way he paid $150 for a face cord delivered and dumped. I helped him stack it, 8' long and barely 3' high. I explained it should be 4' high. He called on it, the seller told him sorry, you stacked it too tight and that was that. So, many people don't know what they are really buying at all.

 

Here's some expensive fire wood.

 

...it's a bargain at twice the price...…

 

You should see what you get at the gas station. What really is two 4"splits split into one inch slabs. On sale for 8.99!

 

Holy Crap! With my 30 year plan going here, I would be a millionaire.

(I love the bagged firewood ad. I realize today I am as bad as everyone else with spell check and auto correct; things happen beyond our control sometimes, but poor grammar just grates on me).
