Default Old growth Cyprus

I've been lurking around this news group for awhile and gained quite a

bit
of good information that helped me build my first boat.
There seems to be a lot of knowledgeable people here so I thought this

might
be a good place to post this question.
I have a friend who purchased a building with old food processing tanks
(1920's) made from Cyprus.
The Cyprus boards are 12-13' long 6-10" wide and 2"-2.5" thick and

perfectly
clear.
He has about 50,000 board feet and would like to sell it. I was looking

for
any suggestions on where he could start (other than e-bay) and what the
(ball park) asking price should be.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gregg

Was reading This Old House magazine in the doctor's office this morning;

and there was an article about a man (company) who travels all over the
world buying up old lumber (including old wine casks) to re-process into
flooring for houses. Unfortunately, I didn't notice if the magazine was
this month's issue. It shouldn't be hard to find that info, however.

Saw the September issure of "This Old House" magazine at Wal-Mart,

tonight, and that is the issue the story is in.
