I knew some of it had copper (Christmas lights, charger chords).
It was a dollar and I thought I could make a profit. But what to do with Ethernet and computer power cords?!

Ethernet cables are small strands of copper with gold plated ends and computer power cords are copper with brass ends.

However, I likely wouldn't be able to purchase them until the next time I go to town (I generally make online purchases with gift cards I buy in store). If you cut the ends, I would be willing to purchase these too, for about $2.00 a pound, and I'd arrange shipping. However, as I stated I cannot make this purchase right now. And I DON'T LIKE EBAY!
Thanks for your time in reading my reply. God bless!

I dont think you want to pay $2.00# for #2 insulated wire when the scrap yards are paying between .90 and $1.00 #.
