6-Month review of LT15(S) and moving to LT40?

[Peter Drouin]

I see more and more mills for sale. When some people see how much work it is they sell.

There was never a shortage of sawmills, lumber, nor toilet tissue but there was an abundance of idiots doing panic buying and creating an artificial market.

Two years ago I declined an offer to sell my sawmill @ $55k.  Was it worth that?  No but had I sold, my sawing business would have been shut down for two years.  I easily made that $55k sawing that year so I had the $55k and still had the sawmill.  Funny thing was that I sawed that prospective buyer's logs that year.

I suspect that my sawmill's selling value today would fall somewhere in the $35-$40k range. I am seeing sawmills for sale on fb plus the usual sawmill selling websites.  I seldom see sawmills for sale here on the Forestry Forum because our members are sawing...not selling.  I actually bought my sawmill through Sawmill Exchange in 2002.
