Just got home from an estate sale where I bought 118 bf of 4/4 red oak.
Total cost, $18. Apparently, these 8' boards came from a flooring mill as
they were random width 4" to 8" wide and had a 45 degree chamfer (is that
the term?) on two corners. They had been planed on 4 sides but not run
through the t&g shaper yet. There are some blemishes; minor worm holes,
knots, checks, etc. but at least 90% first quality. I think I got a pretty
good deal.

Nah, not such a good deal. You have a lot of waste with them bevels that
will have to be cut off. At that point, you will have paid maybe 16¢ a
board foot, up from 15.25¢.
Yeah, you suck.
