You mean like these?
Harris is usually in the ballpark, and TWR is often a bit higher. I just noticed Harris stopped listing prices. That must have started in the last month or so.
TWR's Qsawn white is now $5.75, so it might be headed to CWG's price.

Remind me to give you a call next time I need lumber :-)

I work at the store in Indianapolis, we give very good prices on our wood and also, allow and usually knock off bdf. for splits, knots etc. Just ask an associate if he can do better with the price or match another quote. Prices are usually set by the different suppliers that are used by different stores, plus some wood, exotic, are direct from WC. Store has no say in price other than to loose money.

Not likely to be a help. The guy who gets me that lumber is a friend, giving me a break on his near wholesale prices. If I start asking for supplies for other people, I'm going to get my head handed to me, and justifiably so.

So where do your prices fit in with this discussion?
Should I start comparing my pro-deal bicycle prices with the other cyclists on the group who pay retail?

Barry asks:
Nowhere, I'm afraid. I stay in enough tax trouble without getting into any form of retail. Jeez, sales taxes added to income taxes to business gross taxes added to....urp. I'm sick.
