The only trees worth a lot of money are veneer grade logs and there are many factors that go into having one. First, They must have started life crowded with other trees to keep the log growing straight and the lower limbs to a minimum. Second, they must not have suffered any damage while growing, like wind shake, damage from other trees falling or equipment being used in the woods.Third, there must not be any defects visable in the bark pattern that would indicate an internal problem and those buyers know what to look for! Fourth, for some reason I have never understood is if the land had ever been pastured, the trees will be almost worthless. I never cut any trees personally in pastured woods so I could not tell you what happens to them. Could be animals chewing the bark, could be animal waste causing some discoloration inside,Could be from amimal hooves or rooting disturbing the root systems, possibility of embedded wire but that usually shows up in the bark, but leaves a long black stain yards long inside the tree, who knows why, I just hear that is a problem. If your land was or is pastured, that may be why you got lowballed. If it was mine, I would cut them myself and have the lumber sawn and sell if to hobby woodworkers and cut the tops for firewood. I like walnut firewood! I have for sale right now some nice Cherry, Ash, Red Oak and soon will have some very nice wormshot White Oak. All of these woods are very straight grained and narrow growth rings, (deep woods stuff!)
