Lots of hardwood to get rid of!
I am moving house, and I have in my garage quite of lot of really nice
sawn timber that I need to dispose of, most of which has been seasoned under cover for about 8-9 years. It includes various lengths (up to 14 ft) of Ash, English Oak, mahogany, iroko, in thicknesses ranging from 1 inch to 4.5 inches, and wide boards, as well as various smaller oddments of other varieties of timber. A lot of the Ash and Oak was quarter sawn under my supervision. Does anyone have any ideas where on the Web would be the best place to advertise this? Many thanks Roland |

Many thanks Roland eBay It is probably worth dividing it up into different lots. Start with a low price, and let the market bid it up. Rick |

Unless you advertise it locally, make sure you state your location and what arrangements you wish to make about transporting it. If you are willing to send it by post/courier etc. it's worthwhile having some sort of estimate what the cost would be. If you don't do this, you run the risk of someone agreeing to buy it only to be put off when you tell them the "postage" costs or that you expect them to collect.
