    Is $275,000 a fair price?

    Hi everyone

    Mr Lurker here.

    Found this wood for sale on Ebay. Anyone know if this would be a decent price?


    On another note, I just got my first ever woodworking related catalog. It's from Grizzly. I pretty much haven't put it down for days on end! There are so many things I want now it's ridiculous. I can feel the urge to buy woodworking tools slowly taking over my life. I can't wait to get my first tablesaw and bandsaw soon. I am so excited I had a share.

    Thanks,
    Michael

    Yah, just wait when you get your hands on a phase converter! The grizzly catalog will be the least of your worries.

    At about $5 per sq ft I would say that it is way too high. I don't come anywhere close to that for my veneers...

    I'm probably going to pass on that Lot. I saw a nice piece of cocobolo for $7 that I'm saving up for. Welcome to the Creek Michael!

    I think that it depends on how much solid lumber he has. If he's got half of that in ebony and rosewood then it's a great price. The veneer... Usually get it pretty cheap. I highly doubt he'll sell the auction , but it is a nice lot and more than likely worth at least close to what he's asking.

    Michael,
    I wish you hadn't given so much publicity to that nice lot. Now I am afraid that the price will run out of my range.

    What if the light at the end of the tunnel is a train?

    Do a search for 'Woodworking' then sort by price. It sits at the very top by about $265,000

    Don't let Mark Singer see this, he would probably buy it in a heartbeat.
