That tree is probably ten miles away from where i work.

 

I wonder if the guy got a shock when some local tree outfit qouted him over a grand to fell and remove that tree, so he decided it must be worth something and is selling it on ebay.

 

To me that tree looks like its dying.

 

Quite often I get customers grumbling to me about the cost of a fell on certain trees i.e cedar, walnut and oak, they believe the timber is of such high value we should be doing it for less or even for free. Had one customer complain to me that her walnut timber was probably worth thousands and that my boss was a scoundrel for charging her so much.

When i get customers saying this i just say,no problem you pay me to fell the tree and clear the brash and I'll leave you the timber,then you can sell the timber and get your money back or ever make a profit if it worth as much as you think :icon14:

I wonder if thats whats happened here?

I might bid on it. I can get a really good price for cedar like that. The last tree like that I milled, I got nearly £1200 for the timber. I'd want to drop the stem myself though (in 16' chunks), and I'd want access for a 6 wheeler AND I'd want all the limbs as firewood.
