Maybe should have tried some "horsetrading" with a computer shop/repair for some of their junk. Never know,,,Originally Posted by NewbyScrapper
PTS what sort of charm bracelet do you wear?
Many months ago, I tried to sell 45 of those 6 footers, black, gray and white ones. After 3 attempts with no takers, I did as mentioned further up this thread. btw, all these were brand new, wire tied and sealed in individual plastic bags.

Thanks for the tip Mech. Now, one would think, living 50 miles North of Silicon Valley, that there would be a fair to large number of those places in my area. Sadly, nope
Actually, before the demise of one repair shop locally, I did try the "horsetrading" approach and the owner said he would sell ME as many as I wanted.
Cheers for the input though

well I took in 61 pounds this morning and was paid .60 per pound any thoughts?
Shop for a new yard that pays more. In fact you may want to check with one of our member/buyers. High Voltage Processing is in your area of the country but I don't know how close. His listed web site is not working but you can pm him through the forum. Mike.

I think you need to find another yard. #1 insulated should bring about 3x that much if you cut off the ends. #2 insulated around $1 lb. Even if your area is 25% lower than mine, you still should be twice that number for #1

#2 insulated should be closer to a dollar a pound. I'd find another yard.

Did you happen to take your wire to AAA Metal Scrap in the Strip District. I took some computer wire down there a couple of weeks ago, and that is what they paid me. Off topic, but FYI, AAA is the only place i've found in western PA that will buy low-grade circuit boards.

I did and I like the guys at AAA always friendly always helpful since this is more of a hobby and a way of cleaning up for me I do not always need to squeeze the most out of a load. What was the rate they gave you on low grade boards?

They were paying .10/lb for the low-grade. Not fantastic, but the best I could get without driving a great deal further away from home.

I think you'll find Silicon Valley was mostly chip makers/designers, not computers, those were made or assembled elsewhereNow, one would think, living 50 miles North of Silicon Valley, that there would be a fair to large number of those places in my area. Sadly, nope
