For sale Sycamore

[devonwoody]

I have been offered a length of sycamore, but it is too large and heavy for me to cope with.
Details as follows.
Dear John,
I have selected a nice board of sycamore as follows.

2950 x 430 x 41mm 89.09
carrier to Devon from Surrey. 13.75
102.84
vat 15.43
total £118.27



PM me if interested and I will pass the telephone number over to enquirerer.

 

[devonwoody]

Anyone with the same opinion as me, that this timber is highly priced?

Nobody pm'd me.

 

[JonnyD]

At £50 plus Vat a cube excluding delivery it seems a little excessive to me. I have just looked at my trade price list and sycamore in Waney boards is £15.75 a cube and straight edged maple 1 1/2 inch is £25 a cube. Retail prices are usually only about 15% more so still loads cheaper.

cheers

Jon

Thanks for your helpful reply. I would be interested to see a trade listed catalogue of prices that you mention. :wink:

I'm going to Jedburgh next week to collect wood from Ross's group. (As per pages of previous posts). They're charging £17.50 per cu ft for square edged kiln dried sycamore.

Any chance you can over order and arrange carriage down to Devon for me .. Take 3 cu.ft. at that price.
PM me ?

John, seeing as Laird is in Scotland, I think it would be much better to go straight to Ross and you'd be doing him a favour if you arranged the courier your self. Once you know the dimensions of the timber from Ross then you can have a ring around for quotes.

 

[laird]

DW, no probs. A mate's insisting on driving me over in a van, rather than me pop over in my car. So we'll have space (I'm only picking up 15+ cu ft of different woods, for furniture).
However, as Wizer points out, I'm in (or rather just off) Scotland. So any courier would have to travel 4 hours drive, plus a ferry, futher away from you. You would probably be cheaper contacting Ross's local courier (who's just off the A1).
However the choice is yours, let me know by Wed please.

 

[devonwoody]

Thanks, I have never had much luck with couriers and their prices.

Can anyone let me have a couriers contact number or web site in that area, or cant Ross supply delivery contact.

To Paignton Devon.

 

[jlawrence]

DW, we need to sort out a group buy from Ross.
If we can find a sensible place to get a delivery to between 3 or 4 of us then I could drop a few Cu ft down to Paignton no probs.

 

[devonwoody]

OK count me in for 3 cu.ft. plus of 2" thick sycamore with straight edge.

How about you Lord Nibbo?
There is a user here at Teignmouth.
Plus some in the West Dartmoor to Plymouth vicinity.

 

[markwuzere]

[markwuzere]

Mark here is the original thread https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/view ... t=sycamore you might be better off placing your message on there. Good luck.
