Bargaining for Boards | Yukon River Run

Well, we're hoping to make 10, 12,000 after we sell all this stuff today. Then we'll give that up; we'll all have money to work on. Got all this lumber and the logs and all our gear. I think we'll do good selling our stuff right here.

Is the smartest thing to do; we got a lot of work to do. They'll sell everything from the timber of the raft base to the plywood decking to their tools and equipment. In the tiny village, word spreads fast. There's no hardware show on the Yukon, so people need those supplies—wall tents, cooks, and so forth. So that's why they buy it from us.

You interested in the camp?

Yeah, did a little roll. I'd sell a pair of them for 90; 40 for the one, 50 for the other. One's in a little better shape than the other.

Music

Way, let me see if I got 40. All right, 25, 35, 40, 45. You have your pick; take either one you want. You're breaking me!

Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Those are worth a lot of money. Thank you! Got a nice set of gloves. We've got the 10 x 12 T, the Music stove. Have fun with it; it's a good saw.

Okay, he said 20 on that skillet too. Thank you! We need wood in here, please. Go f that! Two cats, two benches, two water jugs, sport fish net over there.

Now hey, Dad!

Yeah, what should we sell the fishing PS for? 'Cause we need the money.

Uh, 30 for the whole thing, for both of them.

That's awful Music cheap! Don't sell the tackle box, whatever you do.

Yeah, that Grandpa's L is in there.

Okay, all right. So, um, what are you thinking you'd have to have for the raft?

I want to build my cabin with this wood. I know it's a lot of good wood.

Yeah, there's a lot of wood on there. Probably all the plywood, 50 some sheets of plywood, 1,400 ft of 2x4s, and probably 10 cords of logs right there.

I was hoping for 85.

Uh, I think that's a pretty fair Music price. I was thinking maybe somewhere around, um, 7, I think is what I can do for it.

Music

Sounds good.

All right, yeah, okay, okay. All right, thank you, Brian.

All right, we'll see you later. I appreciate it.

Okay, what I decided to do is just go ahead and offer an amount of $7,000 for the raft so my family and I can get one step closer to building our camp.

Oh, it was great! Brian came along, bought the raft because we were, uh, it was pretty stressful waiting and hoping to sell the raft, not really sure if we would or not. So Brian really saved our butts there. I'm glad he bought the raft.
