We will be taking down an old garage. It's just not feasible to try to improve it and use. It will be removed and something new will replace it. Does the old weathered barn wood siding have a value ? Is there a market for it ? This siding looks like 6-10" wide and is installed vertically on the outside of the building. I was curious if there is a market for it and if it was enough value to make it worth the time to try to find a buyer for it. What say ye ?
GETFISHED !!!
Yes very large market for that stuff
If it isn't rotten, it has some value. Even if it has bad spots, as long as there are good, someone probably would buy it. Take a picture of it and put it on Marketplace or Craigslist, I don't have a idea of the value of it.

Wish we lived a little closer, looking for something like that to put on the inside garage walls.
Take Care.
Yes there is a market for it. Someone always has a use for it.
Big market for it and high prices if not rotten

Big market for it, take your time taking it off. Premium for boards that are not split on the ends.
Well worth your time to remove it and stack it with spacers to help keep it dry. I would love to get my hands on some for a couple of projects. What little I have located near me was too expensive.

Big bucks if you broker it right.
Well maybe I'll look into it. Thanks for the feedback. I guess I need to locate the market for it and figure how to value it.

Another option is to trade someone the materials for the labor of tearing it down and cleaning it up. We had an old metal/tin barn on some land we bought recently and traded it for the old building/land to be cleared.

Find some one that refinishes hard wood floors he'll be glad to pay a fair price. Just refinish a floor that was 2nd gen heart pine cheapest I could find was 12.95 a ft. There is a market for that lumber.
I don't know how the market is right now but around 5 years ago the right kind of barn lumber was bringing top $ in my area. I had a coworker who tore down an old barn on his property and I was shocked at the amount of $ he made. I also know of a case where someone had an old barn and someone stole the siding off it. The thieves hit the barn in the middle of the night and stole the siding right off the barn. They took a Sawzall and cut the planks right off the side of the barn.
