I live in the Raleigh, NC area. I need to purchase approx. 300 ft of 6ft dog eared boards - 6in
And if possible I would like to beat the prices of Lowes and Home Depot...

If you do not have a salvage store near you, buy just the 6" boards and dog-ear them yourself with a saw. Check out the price difference between the cut and uncut shape. 300' of fence that needs repair in a year because of using cheap materials doe's not make sense to me. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet.

look for a lumber mill, think the waltons, and buy the wood there. you will find them a lot cheaper than the h.d. and lowes. i bought about 400 board feet of lumber for repair work on the trim and roof sheathing for my house from one for about $60.00! well under what it would have cost for 1x4 and 1x6's from the others. good luck, hope this helps!

I agree with some who answer salvage, free just haul it away, and those kinds of ads are often found in your local classifieds; either online or newspaper.
You might also try looking for a nearby "Habitat for Humanity" "Thrift Store"
Not only are their materials donated, but purchasing them at a pretty fair price allows that the organizations object is supported.

I got mine on Fences for Less on line. They beat the home improvement centers and installed them as well. Mine are cedar.
