Default Shocked at lumber prices

I'm kind of price-shocked this morning. I requested pricing yesterday
for some finished (thickness planed) and for 70.3 bd. feet of white
oak was quoted CA$825 approx US$750. Are these prices outrageous or
is it just me? I'm located in Toronto, Canada.



My favorite dealer here in expensive Connecticut is $3.90 bd/ft for
plainsawn, and $5.95 for qsawn, 4/4, less than 100 bd/ft.

His most expensive is 8/4 qsawn @ $9.95 bd/ft.
