Thanks for the story RipSawyer.

I've known people like that lady.

If both people feel that they got a good deal at the end of the transaction then it was a good one.

Depending on the location and size, straight up pine trees go for $250 - $1,200 around here. I've got about an $900 +/- one 10 feet from the house I'm taking estimates on.

Where are you? If pines can be sold for that much in NC, I'm a millionaire!

Location, location, location, a tree that will bring you a good price in the midst of a stand of trees just like it will cost you a thousand dollars to have it removed if it is between your house and a fence and has to be brought down one small piece at a time. The one I cut was next to a fence and had to be pulled over and dropped in an open area, the fence was damaged somewhat and I had to repair it. I certainly would not have paid anything for that tree. I probably should have charged a hundred dollars and she would have been happy. I spent many hours in the hot sun cleaning up the residue.
