You should check out B&Q about 6-7 logs in a net for £7.98 well worth it NOT

 

I recently put an advert in a little shop i pass now and again,"log nets £3.00 for 8-10 hardwood logs" cost me £6.00 to advertise, as i walked out i noticed they were selling log nets as well, didnt count the amount of logs ,but they were priced at £9.00 . Next time i pass i will be calling in to see where he placed my ad.

Its a marketing opening - buy his (get a bulk load at a cheaper price!), dry them properly, re pack and sale at your price later on when his are all gone. There are plenty of guys suddenly selling wood round ours, I doubt they'll still have decent stock come Feb.

:lol: no dave we're not a charity :lol: although some people think we are

 

the boy does it for a bit of spending money, we only sell by the cube,

but, it does teach him a good lesson, and if it costs us one or two customers...ah well..
