    Interesting and you are absolutely correct that it's their scale that we paid on.



    Did you keep track of how long it took you to strip the wire? Let's scale that up so if you had had 100 pounds of wire, how much time would it have taken? That's where the time value comes in. Could you have been doing something else during that time that might have paid better? Like spending time with a wife, child or grandchild?

    Value of time - I did my self in , see I collected so much that for the sake of sanity to get my life back
