I'm just curious (I'm not complaining or trying to get everyone riled up) what the average mark up is on lumber in a yard? I'm especially curious about Baltic Birch..
I once called a CNC shop to give me a quote for something and said "well, I can bring the wood in if you need me to" (it was an odd thickness of BB). And I can't remember the exact price, but he said he could buy the same sheet for like 2/3 of the price I have pay. So I guess my mark up is really high and his mark up is pretty low (bought in big enough quantities). I'm wondering if we can get close to what the actual import cost is to the lumber yard.
I'm not sure how the pricing works in general, but I'm guessing it's a price list type thing where the commodity price fluctuates daily.
I think we've a few posters here that used to work at or still work at a lumberyard.
