Ok, lets say your getting a $1.60 per lb for gold bearing ends, and it costs a $1 per lb to ship. that's a .60 profit. My yard is 15 miles away and gives $1 per lb for insul wire, with the ends on or cut off. So, if there isn't a better price for bare pins, then I'm better off selling them as insul. wire. Gas doesn't come into play
My thought on this would be to pack a flat rate box (USPS) just as full as you possibly can of ends and ship them to one of the better paying buyers. Gold Connectors $2.00/lb from a buyer right here on the board.
