Going rate for a cord of chestnut

[Acer Forestry]

Trying to get shot of a load of windblown sweet chestnut, and though post and rail is do-able at some point, a local guy (East Sussex) has just asked how much I can do a cord for? With more orders to follow. I'm not overly familiar with pricing so can someone give me an idea, cheers

Why not make it into fencing? If you need a hand making post and rail I'm happy to come make some with you. May be more money in it.

I suggested this kind of thing when we crossed paths a few weeks back, but didn't get any further contact from you?

when was it cut/ blown? needs to be wintercut for rails / posts. not sure of cord price but £40 a ton is about right i think..

Blown over in last 12-24 months. Buyer only wants cord apprently to cut his own logs, (so possibly wants it dirt cheap), so time of felling / drop not too critical. Appreciate the price estimate anyway, thanks
