what the fuck is with all the retards selling rotten wood on facebook/craigslist for more than what it costs to get good wood at a reputable dealer? guy wants 400 dollars for this
>>2964637it's a epoxy river table ready to go for all the reddit woodworkers
when will this trend die?YOU TOO CAN MAKE 20,000 DOLLRS PER UGLY ASS PLASTIC BABBYS FIRST WOODWORKING TABLE LIKE BLACKCOCK STUDIO!
>>2964637Sometimes you throw stuff on there hoping an idiot will part with their money. You might not be that idiot this time, but that doesn't mean someone else isn't...
>>2964664It's this. You'd be amazed at what garbage people will pay money for.
>>2964664>>2964674I always see this shit just sit and sit and sit and never sell
I've always wondered how good an epoxy table would fare overtimebecause if you don't use UV resistant epoxy, it will eventully start yellowing and cracking, and good luck failing a complaint after 5-10 years

>>2964701t. guy that took out a 18% loan for a 20k wood mizer selling rotten wood on craigslist
>>2964645it isn't even woodworking, it's pouring liquid into a form and then going WOW LOOK WHAT I MADE!
>>2964697>if you don't use UV resistant epoxyThat's why they use reputable epoxy, not junk
>>2964796>That's why they use reputable epoxy, not junkJust about every youtuber I've seen doing it professionally has said "We're trying this new epoxy" at one point or another. I'm sure that means they were getting it for free and/or getting paid to plug it on a vid
>>2964692>I always see this shit just sit and sit and sit and never sellStill costs them nothing to list it.
>>2964796yes, I'm sure they do, just like sausages are made wth the best meat frm the animal
>>2964637They're fishing. There is zero risk or expenditure on their end. They just take some garbage it costs them nothing to hold on to, and post free listings asking for an absurd amount of money. If someone is dumb enough to buy it, they win. If nobody buys it, they've lost nothing. It's zero risk for a small chance of a big payout.
Everyone on every classified website site thinks they are sitting on gold. That's why they are selling it there instead of to a friend. If it had value it wouldn't be listed, period end of story. The only thing those sites are good for is buying slightly broken junk that is easy to fix that you actually need, like a chainsaw with a dirty carb.
>>2964707My friend got a wood Miser in partnership with another guy he's retired now but can get wood for almost free from a log sort he used to work at. And with the downturn in the Pulp and Paper industry in British columbia, there is a lot of great wood available now. Yellow and red cedar fir and even yew. I have never seen 12-in slabs of that stuff before until he started sawing it.. pic related

>>2966678On the left is yew wood, rugh hand is 2 inch yellow cedar, middle w roughsaw marks is pear
>>2964885>If it had value it wouldn't be listed, period end of story. It has less value to the seller than to the buyer, doesn't mean it's objectively worthless. If you had 5 properties and sold 1 one of them, is it worthless?
