I have a large rock I would call a boulder in my yard, and three large rocks. The three rocks could be moved with a bobcat, not so sure on the boulder one.
We wanted to make a pretty landscape with the rocks, but now I just want them gone. I plan to put an ad online to offer them to someone doing landscaping.
I am wondering if I would get a larger call volume if I offered them for FREE or if I listed them Cheap (like $5). I need to get rid of them before it snows or it will have to wait until summer when the ground is hard again. I have a silly fear that if I wait too long they will build behind my house and then the person removing the rock is going to have to drive the equiptment on my grass instead of the empty lot.
The reason I say it is a silly fear, is the empty lot is very long and narrow. The back end has a wierd easement to it because the last 1/3 is like a water catch incase the water tower floods. Anyway the lot is priced by overall size and not by usable space and I am not sure how you would put a house on the lot and still meet city border rules.
Is Free or Cheap better?

Wouldn't it be more prudent to ask for money first and if/when there is no action, then offer them for free?
Who is going to want to pay for something that has already been offered for free??

I do not want money, I just want to have the rocks gone. I also only have about two weeks until we are suppose to get get snow.
I have noticed that in the past if I list something as $1 or $2 it does not get many calls; but if I list something as $5 than I get follow through. I just wonder if someone is going to see FREE and be thinking that someone else must have already grabbed it up and not bother calling.
