    It's based on the recoveries. There is more #2 copper in the cable then there is in the connector ends. Gold still far outweighs copper.
    As of today copper 2.28 / lb, Gold 18358.40 / lb



    Proof is in the pudding. By the way may need to look for another yard as they #2 ICW price is about 0.18 low.

    As far as the weight and the toatal value of the base metal that I cannot argue. but I cannot see cutting off cable ends now when #2 insulated copper is at .60 lbs and the gold plated connector ends are fetching .50 lbs. maybe I'll sit on the stash till it goes back up to 65 or 75 cents. dunno yet still sad cause I loved to old heavy printer cables now eh' they just get tossed into the #2.
