Wood - advice about how to sell

We have about 220 sq ft of red oak flooring (rift and quarter sawn and a very nice quality grade of wood) leftover from our own renovation work, and I am wondering if anyone has advice about the best way to sell it. I know how to navigate Craigslist for small items, but this is beyond my experience!

Speaking of PC Floors do they ever pick up the phone? I got tired of trying to reach them.

I am not on Facebook, but I did go ahead and make a Craigslist ad with encouragement from cecl’s reply 🙂 https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/mat/d/brooklyn-red-oak-hardwood-flooring/7336123577.html

It is from Graf Brothers in Ohio, and we purchased from P.C. Hardwood Floors. It’s a few years old – I just was fatigued after our reno and am only now getting around to selling our surplus.

Yes! I think these photos show the finished floors nicely. [Flooring 3](//muut.com/u/brownstoner/s3/:brownstoner:XiDo:flooring3.jpg.jpg) [Flooring 1](//muut.com/u/brownstoner/s3/:brownstoner:isu8:flooring1.jpg.jpg) [Flooring 2](//muut.com/u/brownstoner/s3/:brownstoner:fLhQ:flooring2.jpg.jpg)
