Lumber prices seen all over the place when I search for various species of hardwood. Is there a standard online retailer to reference?

Not really because its so regionally dependent - prices can vary dramatically within even 100 miles. I just picked up a bunch of of black walnut for $12.80/bdft, but I could get it for around $8 if I drove a couple hours south.

That seems surprising nobody has picked up on that arbitrage opportunity.

Is it because most lumber volume is performed under commercial contracts? The DIY market is too small to chase?
