How much are your logs

[Dean Lofthouse]

Hello, Mr Lofthouse?

 

Yes, speaking..

 

Ah, been trying to ring you all day you have been recommended by another tree surgeon for selling "seasoned" logs...

 

Yes, no problem but I cant get any to you for at least 4 weeks, we are mown out with work...

 

That's no problem Mr Lofthouse, I have some to be going on with, can I book to have some?

 

Yes fine, they are £140 per load

 

Ah, how much is a load?

 

Well roughly 3 builders bags, and maybe a bit more, certainly no less.

 

Thats rather expensive isn't it?

 

Expensive compared to what..unseasoned ? They are two year undercover seasoned at 18% moisture content...

 

Err, no I'll not bother, thankyou..

 

No problem, Bye

Now had you said its £70 a load and that is about one and a half builders bags he would have probably snapped your hand off.

Lol yeah probably would, that or you could have said I'll sell you some unsplit green rings for a £100 and he probably would have taken it

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Yeah, I always tell em £55 a load (1.1-1.2m3) and then ask now how many loads do you want? Seems to work alright?..

[BARNSLEY BOB]

Still a bit cheap.

My customers have a bag first then buy a transit load,,,

[Chris P]

He'll probably get some fresh cut logs from the garage. or better still burn some treated decking offcuts. Then he'll tar his chimney up and need to put a new liner in. Thats when he 'll need a mewp... ... Can you see where i'm going with this.

 

Dont worry Dean its karma what goes around ,comes around.

 

Had the same thing myself a couple of days ago.

Do all your customers address you as Mr Lofthouse, or just the stingy ones?
