Green discs at that and not seasoned logs:001_tongue:

This neck of the woods I would give you £40(cash!!). Like it or lump it. Depends how desperate you are to get cash in.

Exactly. Its the time to process. Store and cost that makes the logs the price they are.... basically the logs are loaded on back of truck and take back to yard. So to think theyre worth 100plus is dreaming. 40-50 quid max... tryj g to get out of splittjng them and thinking of cashing in big bucks lol.......

I know plenty of people who arnt in our trade that would give £100 for a transit load of rings and then cut and split and love every minute of it. It ain't dreaming. I sold a trailer full of soft wood rings today for 150 the guy will happily split them himself.

I think the mistake you are all making is presuming that he is selling to the trade and not to a customer who is willing to cut and split in there own time not for profit but to heat there own home.

Still stand by what I said. If you can get more good on you. Unseasoned, uncut and unsplit? I would say £100+ is better than doing the firewood yourself.

So what's other peoples take on my calculation of what it would be worth by the loose cube seasoned then.

 

I may have overestimated but nearly 3 grand is muchos beer tokens amigos:001_smile:

If you read the original post the guy says that he has someone who will split the wood themselves, most likely that it will be for his own use, if that's the case then a 100 quid for a transit is a good deal, if they were to buy the same amount of split wood then it would cost a hell of a lot more than 100 quid.

If you read my first post you will see that I said I didn’t have the answer to his question. The OP now has his answer from yourself and others.

 

I calculated the value as firewood so he can say that one load unsplit and unseasoned for £100 is equal to a split and seasoned value of (£2800/4 loads) £700.

 

I just wondered if my calculation was reasonably accurate. I think that it’s useful information as it helps all parties to have a gauge of whether it’s a good deal or not.
