Yes, I am a fool for this one. I simply don’t have the space for all of this. I have plenty for myself. And even more yet to cut up. I just need this out of my dining room, hence the low price

Well good luck with it. If you ever change your mind about selling individual pieces or smaller lump sums, myself and others here are interested for sure.
 
Going to second what @2feathers Creative Making and @Big Ry said regarding waste and lot sizes. You’ve already done the work. Offering a minimum lot size, first come first serve might get you to the same goal faster here. I and others would absolutely be interested in any remaining raw material or waste. Im also down for 8-10/bf if you split it up. Good luck
 
As a reminder, I am interested in decent scraps!

This is what I have in mind for my next step if this doesn’t work out wholesale.
$1,200 bundles for 10/bf, free shipping (max weight I can air ship). Here is an example

This thread makes me wonder... is there a known woodbarter.com record for largest individual sale/transaction value?

I think you will get more traction this route but we’ve already seen $100/bf and I threw out $87.50/bf plus shipping for the same size lots. $120 is fair, however, this is Woodbarter.com and folks here see amazing stuff weekly with a 50% off coupon policy. If you split the difference (103.75 shipped) and promise to list some funky, ugly, bark & inclusion filled stuff, I’ll be picking pieces.

I’ve probably got just what you want if you’re looking for funky and natural edge (African chainsaw & axe marks) pieces. All of my logs were cut by hand & carried out of the forest by men. Very interest pieces. I also have some cool raw logs I’d sell too.

Hello from Florida! I need to clear out my house of all of this 30 year old Gabon Ebony. My logs were just taken out of storage and seeing the light for the first time since the 90s. Over the last few months, I’ve been cutting them up and removing most imperfections. Then I seal them up and have just been stacking my them in the house... silly me. I have sold a decent bit of it locally but I’m not very good at online sales and it doesn’t seem like all my neighbors want my Ebony. My friend listed a few pieces for me and they all sold for well over $150/bf (some for way more) but I just don’t have the space for all of it nor do I want to deal with the online sales.

There is a ton of upside for re-sale and/or to make guitar parts, unique furniture, and more. I’d keep some and just have your kids sell the rest online! I have personally cut every one of these pieces and it has taken me countless hours. I am letting this go for a more than fair price. I have a couple hundred pounds of scrap I’ll throw in too.

Sizes go up to 10.5” wide, 49” long, and 4.5” thick.
It is very very rare to find pieces of Ebony this size let alone for this price.

In these photos, there is approximately 180 board feet but I am looking to sell a lot of 200 board feet total for $20,000 or best offer, including delivery to your shop anywhere in the USA. You will receive every single piece in these photos and more of the to make 200bf (you’ll end up with more than 200 lol)

Im happy to FaceTime any potential buyers and show more details.

I will mail anyone a very very large piece of Ebony as a finders fee if someone can get me a buyer this week! Thanks
