   PH,

   Haven't dealt with them but they post a lot on craigslist. Been around for a few years. Prices seem so so for this neck of the woods.
   Where are you located?

   Even if they have price just average or a tad above, I'd give 'em my $$ for reclaimed urban lumber.  It just kills me to see big trees cut up for firewood, when they could become stock for woodworkers.  There is an urban-tree miller in Seattle, and David Kotz here on Bainbridge Island gets most of his trees for milling from storm-downed trees or must-cut-em trees.  It's a tough business to get off the ground and make profitable.

   That's how I get most of my lumber. I get it milled the way I like, and have access to a lot of stuff that just isn't commercially available. Where can you get 4" thick slabs of spalted maple, or 3' wide slabs of elm?Chris @ http://www.flairwoodworks.com and http://www.flairwoodwork.spaces.live.com)
