Couple weeks back an Amish timber outfit marked trees and made an offer for 105 trees (no cherry, just poplar, red oak, white oak and ash.) So they make an offer. Today, a guy shows up from a different timber outfit and makes a higher offer for the same trees. So I go on the state forestry web site and check prices of timber. Red oak is like $520 per MBFT The Amish outfit offered $70. The guy today said $400 for the red oak. How do I compare the reported timber prices with what is standing in the woods? Are the reported prices delivered to the mill, or standing in the woods?
