    With today's prices on gold ends, it really doesn't matter.

    Gold ends are currently going for 95 cents. For me to ship gold ends via fed ex, is about 40 cents a pound, unless of course I have total shipment weight of over 400 pounds, in which case, I could ship freight. But this would still cost 20 cents a pound. Bottom line, best net once it leaves my house is 75 cents a pound.



    I currently have 2 yards that I sell wire to. One is 40 minutes away and considers this #2 insulated, paying about $1 per pound. The other is an hour away and considers this Telco, paying $1.27 a pound. I still need to sell my wire, clipped or unclipped, so this trip is a necessity no matter what I do with the ends.

    Once you figure out what they really are, sit down and figure out if you are making any more money, by clipping them and shipping them. If you are making more doing that, then you should probably look for a new yard.
