One of my wife’s clients said a friend of hers had a big locust tree cut down and wanted to know if we wanted the wood. Stupid question!!!! I get down there and she said she would have to have 100.00 for it ! I told he I’d go 50.00 on all of it or my rig would be headed back to the house. She went for it and I ended up with 2 dump trailer loads. LOL
You would've been better off leaving empty handed, long drive and wasted gas is still better than what he got rid of on you. Don't get too desperate looking for specific species, find the best you can and know when to walk. Better luck next time!
