How much is FIREWOOD

[SarahFair]

How much is 1/2 a cord of firewood in your area delivered and stacked?
My SO and I sell it on occasion to make ends meet during the winter months.
This year the price is $120 for above cirmumstances.


I see $75 - $200 on CL for a load so I dont know if Im charging too much or too little.

What do you pay in your area?
(PS - Im not advertising, just wondering what is fair

)

1 full cord of almond wood here is $305. That's what I paid a couple weeks ago.

We paid $225 for a cord, split and delivered, not stacked. I wasn't impressed with the quality of the wood, though. We won't be using the same person again. It's not a bad price for around here, but I want good dry wood that I can use!

$120 for a half cord delivered and stacked sounds reasonable to me.

Delivered, not stacked.

ETA: We prefer a hard wood like peach, almond or eucalyptus. Pine burns too fast, so we wind up spending more.

Interesting...
My SOs family owns a logging company so we can pick and choose the wood we use.
Should I use that in my ad?

Sarah you are going to have to sell by the type of wood. Like:

$125 almond
$135 peach
$100 Eucalyptus
$50 pine
per half cord

Seriously pine is almost useless. It burns so quickly - with a hard wood you can fill the fireplace or stove, light it and it lasts all night. With pine you will have to refill every hour or so.

We sell no pine. Also mixed load of hardwoods..
We can do full types but more $$$

Varies a lot. Plus a lot of posters don't specify FULL or FACE cord. If it doesn't say full cord, I assume they are trying to sell face cords to unknowing people.

Just looked at our local CL:

Prices listed

180 Full Cord / 90 1/2 cord / 50 for 1/4 cord. Delivered, not stacked
80 for level pickup truck load, not delivered. Your own truck needed.
150 full cord / 75 half cord. You must pick up.
2x4 stack, face. Pieces look small. Probably not even 14" cuts. $25. Delivery additional charge.
12x5.5x3 foot trailer load (piled, not stacked so will have dead space between logs) $275
200 / cord, hickory, you haul
$450 for "large" trailerload. CLaims probably 4 cords.
$100 truckload, level. You pick up.
$170 full, $100 half. Does not specify delivered or not.
160 half cord. Delivered not stacked.
$200. Does not specify delivery/stacked.

$200 a cord in most areas according to my message board for firewood that I visit. Also that is what I have seen on Craigslist. Just dumped- not stacked.
