Randy- <br /> <br />I think your pricing is a bit dated. Currently, new hardwood crossties are sold for at least $20 delivered. Installed cost including labor and equipment is about $50 to $60 depending upon contractor. You might be able to get some volume discount but I doubt you'd get near $30/tie installed. Recent litigation has put some major crosstie treating plants out of business and that plus competition for good timber with the booming housing business has forced prices up. <br /> <br />LC
