  1. £110 it is this year.... no complaints yet !
  2. Ah don't really count Richard, 60 x 45 nets, logs split quite small, i'd guess about 20.
  3. My local coal merchant asked me last weekend to have 200 nets of bone dry firewood for a customer who buys this amount every January and it lasts him the entire year. I dutifully spent 7 hours putting the logs into nets,,,,,,, only to be told by the coal merchant today that he had to spend 2 and a half hours emptying the nets in the customer's store. Why the customer wasn't happy to just stack up the nets and use them as he needed them, i will never know
  4. You sound like a proper businessman logsnstuff, but this side of the pond, you can buy a net for £3 / £3.50 anywhere. Met a lad in Barcelona last Easter from London, he buys logs regularly at £7...... oh to supply logs to London.
  5. Wheelie bin, very versatile, takes 10 mins to unload a pick up truck load, but simple, cheap system.
  6. Haha thanks new forest, i should have pointed out that the bin is full also., sorry for the confusion:thumbup: Anyway i was previously selling 60x45cm nets to a coal merchant for £2 who in turn sold them to public for £3 or 4 for a tenner, so really nobody was making money anyway:blushing: The pick up load is alot less work and i definitely see a profit in this route. BTW it was 15 deg here in N Ireland yesterday, but who knows what Mother nature will bring in New Year.
  7. Thanks guys for replies...£80 it is then.....free log bagging device going to good home :-)
  8. Its in between Scott, one set of doors and childrens seats behind the front ones. You might notice the wheelie bin buried in the logs, (my method of transporting the logs to the garage or log store.) The load is about 4 bin fills. Thanks for reply.
  9. Hi all, do you think £80 for a heaped Mitsubishi pick up load of well seasoned mix of hard and softwood delivered locally is a fair price? I only ever sold them in nets before and really think i was working for nothing/very little. Thanks in advance:thumbup1:

    <p>I might also be interested in some unsplit rings. What species? Where are you? Thanks. Graeme</p>

    <p>Hi WL,</p>

    <p>I might be interested in some of those unsplit rings. Are you anywhere near Ballynure?</p>

     

  12. Sorry friend but i'm across the pond in N Ireland.
  13. Selling unsplit rings at £30 per 0.64 m3, is this fair to all parties? Thanks!
