Can enyone tell me what would I be expected to pay for logs or a log for milling

As i am thinking of buying  a sawmill . Maximum diameter  30in lets say about 12ft long. 

I think it would be beneficial for your research to offer a lot more detail as to what you expect to be doing with your sawmill. At the moment, your question is so vague you might as well be asking "what should I be expecting to pay for a car?"

Here's some examples of milling logs I've bought recently.
Beech 20-30" x 8' £65 a ton collected from the forest.
Sycamore 3'x 8' superb character £100 collected from field.
Elm 4' x 9' delivered £300
Oak 2-3' x 8' collected from forest £100 a ton.
Sitka 2 ton for £120 delivered.
Prices will vary quite a bit depending who you know,
How far away?
What's the accesss?
Can you collect big heavy logs?
A 30" oak log at 12' weighs about 2.5+ tons.
And turning big logs on a mill is very difficult.

Put a "milling logs wanted" advert up.
If you can collect from Huddersfield, I've got a few logs I could spare [emoji106]
