60 year old white oak lumber

Edited #1

I am looking for advice.  I have about 3000-3200 board feet of nominal white oak lumber, salvaged from a tobacco barn.  It is now in Washington state.  The plan was to use it in my house, but things changed.  Most are 2x4, with some 2x6 and 2x8, and the lengths run from 6 feet to 18 feet.  I also have the beams from the barn, and they are notched to fit the stiles in place.

 I have no idea how to sell this.  Any suggestions?

Thanks you!

Facebook Market Place or local Buy, Sell, Trade Facebook page.

Thank you.  I've thought about those and was hoping to sell it all at once rather than piecemeal.  

But that be what I end up having to do.

There are any number of outfits that deal in "barn wood" as they look for old barns to buy, disassemble and recondition the lumber for sale.  Looking to move the whole lot, those people might be your best bet.

Thanks!
