There are many variations on exactly what a cord is. Some people measure a cord as being stacked. Some measure it as a loose pile containing 128 cubic feet. A cord is technically 128 cubic feet (4'x4'x8'). However, a cord of loose wood, when stacked will shrink about 20 %. So, where the stacked cord is neater and tighter, there is more about 20% more wood than there would be in a loose full cord.
We've been in the firewood business for many years, and here in Nova Scotia, we sell 1 full cord (not stacked) of mixed hardwood for $140 Cad, delivered locally, on a full load basis (6 cord). Smaller amounts are somewhat more. Some suppliers in my area have recently upped the price to 160/cord, and in other areas not too far away they are over 200/cord. I wouldn't sell it too cheap if I were you. A typical 1/2 ton will carry between 1/3 and 1/2 a cord. HTH.
