totallycustom Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 So I had plans to build a larger wood kiln and got around 2000 very large fire brick (14" long). I think it is going to be too costly to operate with any profit. So I want to get rid of the brick and put the money into a smaller more manageable/cost effective kiln. Which would make my wife much happier with me, especially having 12 pallets of brick out of the driveway. What do you guys think is a good place to advertise the brick, short of paying the large cost for an ad (wife would kill me)and waiting 2 months for publishing? CL has not been very successful but I may try again. I want to reach actual potters who might want to buy them and not just the everage public who doesnt care. What would you guys do?

bciskepottery Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Try a posting on Clayart. Be sure to specify what location you are in and the terms of sale, e.g., buyer must pick up. If you are in the North Carolina area, try a posting on the NC Clay Club blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEP Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I agree that posting on Clayart is a good idea. Can you provide your location here too? This forum might generate more ideas if we know where the bricks are. Mea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firemountaion Studios Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I am building a small soda kiln and need bricks, but not that many. I'm in Portland, how much are you thinking about charging for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Yahoo is a group called potterbarters. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/potterbarter/ They seem to sell online from all over the US, don't know how effective it is but it's another option.
