there was a post on here a while back about losing money cutting off the wire, seemed prices for the three categories was the main factor.
If you take .05/lb off the majority of the weight, does the weight cut off cover and make the difference in price.
average power supply is roughly 3-4 lbs, so simplify say all 4lbs
power supply with wire at .25/lb x 400lb = $100
power supply without wire at .20/lb x 375lb = $75
it takes 3 or 4 power supply wire harnesses with ends to make a lb
so well say 4 for ease of numbers.
take your #2 wire price (mine .45/lb) x 25 lbs = $11.25
i would lose money cutting wire with my wire price...If I could get your awesome prices on power supplies.
If it was 3 harnesses per lb then I would still lose money as it would come out to $15 worth of wire
your wire price should let you know if it's worth while
these are also just averages...some power supplies weigh as little as a 2 lb and as much a 7 or 8, some have a lot of wire some have very little.
100 bucks to put them in the truck and be done with them sounds pretty good...
edit: fixed math
