I have a Black cherry tree that needs to come down, it's a large
tree with a 28" diameter. I plan on doing it soon but was
interested in the idea of possibly having them cut into
manageable lengths (still a lot of weight, I know) and putting
the raw timber on Craigslist.

Try to find someone in your area with a portable sawmill who can cut it into lumber for you.
Wood-Mizer (www.woodmizer.com) can put you in touch with owners of their mills in your area.
