Best place to sell Oak planks

I have sold a few boards....not as many as you have.

 

Ebay - can take a while. Plenty of idiots asking questions with no real desire to purchase. Difficult to place in the correct section unless you pay more for multiple inserts.

Gumtree - Same except no fees and limited audience.

 

Timber Market

TIMBERMARKET.CO.UK

 Tried these but not a lot of takeup yet.

 

Don't do facebook and so no comment. 

 

Comes back to ebay. It's a nuisance and yet a global go-to for stuff. Just need to put it in the right section. Get your title right so you get maximum exposure on any search, good pictures and an accurate description and wait...

 

Best of luck.

Sound advice so many thanks. Interested in your comment about putting the boards in the right section on eBay. Any pointers would be appreciated

@Vigen Tigen

Can't offer much guidance on sections.

I've listed in the Timber -construction materials   and also diy - / crafts wood.

I'd have a look at what is being advertised of a similar style and go from there. using

Unless you are very lucky I think you'll have a bit of a wait.

I did have stuff go quickly but think it was because I was almost giving the stuff away.. 

 

It's a "how long is a piece of string"  thing. 

IF you have someone who knows what they want and what is a good / respectful price, you are made. 
I've had this.....and I've had the mushrooms that want to "build" magnificent furniture from what I have clearly stated is freshly milled ( and therefore cheap) wood, that requires drying and further work. 

I feel that I could almost write a book on the experience.
I'm sure some of the other chaps will be along to offer their advice too.

 

As before, all the best of British Luck to you.

What are the dimensions - pop them up and some one on here might be interested or know someone who is given a few more details.

If you've got 30 boards I'd be trying to wholesale them, yes the price per board will be half but you sell them all in one load. Selling 30 one at a time seems likely to take a long time before you get the money, and a lot of your time invested.

 

Think @Squaredy might be interested but the issue will be cost of transport.
