yeah, no worries.

I'm still not sure how to package and sell it... I know somep people want whole pieces, so I dont want to break it down into smaller sections...but then that means no piece is ever the same weight or size, so it makes it extremely hard to put it on the shopping cart...

Yes, tricky... Guess the best way is to sell it by approximate weight, e.g. A 1kg or 0.5kg bag, give or take 25g. I cant personally think of how I'd use big long pieces of it - for 28mm cliffs, you're always going to need to cut it across the grain of the 'rock face' into pieces which are between 20mm and max, what, 150mm high? So length 'along the grain' as it were, is probably not all that important. Personally, I'd always go for a bag with lots of small to medium pieces, because it's likely to be more versatile and save on a lot of sawing!  ;)

Approx weight is probably best. Is coverag feasible? Only reason I ask is that I want to make two 24" long by 18" high cliff sections but have no idea what it would take to cover that.
So many projects..... so little time.......

i dont think so... too much of a PITA to try to work out the coverage, uneven pieces and so forth.

I think i will put it up at a per-kilo price, then if anybody wants a certian size or area they can ring up and we will ahve a dig in the crate for a suitable piece... really cant think of a better way of doing it tbh.
