Surely this is arb waste? I don't understand why your costs aren't already covered in the job.

I'm not having a go, but this type of thing keeps popping up, folk wanting inflated prices because they're trying to cover their expenses that should have been included in the original price for the job.

Rant over.

Hang on a minute, I priced the job at a fair price for both me and the client, he wants to try and recoup some of his costs selling timber. There are several people lined up to buy it, however trying to get them all to the site at the same time when finishing job won't happen. Easiest for me to clear it all and leave a tidy site and recoup the dosh over a couple of weeks. I won't lose any money. The job is tidier and customer happy. What's the problem

Imo if the customer wants to sell it then he can have it sat on his land and deal with all the processes of selling. It can't be too easy to get it back to your yard if it will cost £600 and then need moving again when sold.

It seems strange that you selling it as an 'agent' and having it on your property should be exposed to the risk of speculation on price and incurring the cost of removing it from site, this should all be charged for then the seller is exposed to the risk of breaking even or possibly profiting depending on the sale of and price attained for their commodity.

He wanted to get £500 for the wood, 100 quid for moving it, I've sold £400 worth provisionally. I'm getting good money on the job, I'm in a much better situation to sell the wood than he is, he's a valued repeat customer. It's no real problem for me.

Hi John, yes I jumped the gun and I'm sorry. I misunderstood.

Your explanation clears this up and yes of course it makes sense to do a favour for a longterm client.

Glad you've got it sold mate.

A lot of it is provisionally sold, what sort of size are you interested in?
