: Don't bother with the "big box" stores, it's the smaller, specialty

: cheapest dealer is 35 miles away. If you're doing this as a business, ask

: your area, though in my experience, they often only sell in pallet
: quantities.

Yes there is a pretty big discount for large quantities of lumber. The quantities though tend to be rather large. Ok if you have a use for it and a place to store it properly.
