What kind of price you guys getting for computer ribbon cable

When you guys talk about price of ribbon wire, do you assume ends cut off? If you don't cut off the ends, can you get a better price? Can this price be so much higher that cutting the ends off and selling them as gold connectors would not be any more profitable?

That's a good question. If they're only paying 1.50 - 2.00 lb, and it costs you .50 a lb for shipping, when you can get 1.00 lb without touching it? hmmmm.....

I get wire .50-.60 per lb in Arizona
