Question for Dick and anybody with a laser?

I bought a gaylord of veneered panels that are about 12" by 24" by 1/8" thick.  They have MDF cores and Cherry or walnut veneer faces and some sort of gloss finish.  I would like to sell them. Would someone with a laser be my customer?  Any suggestions on marketing would be appreciated.  I could let them go for $2 each plus shipping.

Re: What

Gaylord is slang for a bulk shipping container about the size of a standard full size pallet.�

Advertise them as slabs of Czechoslovakian ebony.

P.S.  What were you smoking?

Thanks, Guys

Had never heard that term before.  Probably because all my clients dealt with full truckloads.

Brad, I bought them because they were...

Pretty.  I paid next to nothing for them, maybe $10.  Just couldn't stand to leave them behind.  Gave some to a friend who used them for drawer bottoms, so there, I'm even.

Here's a tip Barry

Don't tell people you only paid $10 for the whole lot and then ask $2 a piece. LOL
