I was just recently offered 20 12' 6"x10" douglas fir beams for $500. I could've had them milled into plank flooring for about $400.

One word when it comes to maple and other nice woods: guitars.
if cut properly, and on good shape, luthiers will pay through the nose for nice wood. I known of guitars with $1k or more maple tops.
Guitar players will die for good wood, almost.
