I am interested in this as I cannot understand how people arrive at there log bag prices. I normally sell my solar kiln dry split logs guaranteed less than 20% MC for £100 per m3 so £120 for a 1.2 m3 IBC. I get 25 bags out of an IBC container and cost of bag is 20p each so total cost £125 which works out at £5.00 per bag (gross) Selling direct to customer 5% vat net price is £4.76 Selling direct to trade 20% vat net price £4.17.

Cheapest kiln dried logs I have found on the internet are £5.80 so net £5.53 so trade customer will make £5.53- £4.17 which is £1.36 per bag So the trader is making over 30% profit for very little work.

 

So nets at £2.50 ??. Small bags ??.

 

I have not even costed in the above the labour involved in bagging
