What's this worth please?

[rapalaman]

Hi all,

I'll be taking this cherry down soon and the customer wants everything firewood size logged to use himself and to sell the main trunk for milling possibly. Until it's down obviously I won't know if it's sound inside. It will be approx 22/24" diameter at the base and about 4 1/2 ft long, located mid Essex. Any idea on value I can tell them please and anyone local interested?

Unless i'm misreading this, the tree owner is selling this once you have felled it? - so the price that they agree with whoever is their worry, not yours? .. Quote for felling and processing to the agreed requirement surely?

IMO, very little if anything. I would certainly not want to be taking its value into account when quoting. It it only worth to me the hassle of taking it away.

Hi, yes the owner wants to sell it so it's not my worry. I'll just take it down and leave it for them - that's their choice. I did say it's probably not going to be worth a lot, but some people are just tight ;-)

I remember RobD posting that a couple years back. Always makes me laugh very true to say the least though

It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it !

I get asked this a lot.... 'What's it worth?' (Especially with the older generations for some reason).

 

Unfortunately for them it's worth pretty much sod all. I agree with the comments above, I wouldn't alter the quote to account for the wood being worth something....

for such a wide piece regardless of how short it is i would be happy to pay up to£75 but no more.

 

if it's not sound then don't just ring it up as i might be interested in some for a drum shell i must turn and cherry would be a good wood to do it in.

 

just keep it as long as possible.
