[QUOTE="ddd75, post: 1438698, member: 23575"] i sold my first ky place to a logger b/c I couldn't find anyone worth a sh#t to log it. The one guy who I trusted said they were 2 years behind. Everyone else tried to rip me off because they thought it was "grandpa's land" I was left for free. I had what I heard was one of "the best" foresters to come and survey my woods and give me a forestry report. His report showed around 800k board ft. if I remember correctly. He wanted to sell the entire stand to 1 logging company and not even bid it out. for 50k. I having logged for the last year at the place knew damn well that it was worth way more then that. I asked him why the bid was so low and how I knew exactly what these trees were worth and he just sat in silence.. then said.. What was that//? I'm losing you.. and hangs up. to make a long story short a owner of a sawmill wanted to by my place not just for the timber but to live there as well. So I sold it to him for a DEAL.. I mean. I deal.... and ended up eating quite a bit of money (60k). So he ended up logging almost all of it except a real nice 40 acres above the house.. So he ended getting $195,000 off the logs and still had a lot of good trees remaining. Logging is a pretty tough business not to get screwed over in! [/QUOTE]
