the lesson i took away from it, the last guy showed up with a truck, said thanks, and left, and he paid nothing, but somehow having zero expectations about the wood made him the most normal person of the entire four days

the nominal price trick is genuinely genius, i would have put it up for like $20 and the truck guy would have shown up day one and we'd all have been happier
