Hello there guys,
We've scrapped cars in KC for years and are now thinking of trying to figure out this new techno scrap too.
I found your site while searching about some silver plated wire I found. Scrap yard wants to tell me it's tin.
If someone knows anything about this wire and how/where to get max value out of it I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks for the cool site and the opportunity to learn.
Craig
welcome from the other side of kansas city

Welcome from Indiana...
Thanks jg. I've run across quite a bit your insight today reading the forum.
It's been a good day for reading being snowed in.
Thank you too DN.
yep were snowed in over here also
Craig, I haven't run across any techno scrap but plenty of escrap. Depending on where the wire came from I would imagine that it's just "tinned" copper.
Very common, if you look in my monitor breakdown one pic (#5) shows a "tinned" copper wire surrounding the CRT tube. My yard takes it as #2.
escrap is what I mean. I'm far from savvy on it. I always thought goldfinger was a villain.
This roll of wire has a tag on it with options for different conductor types. Tin plated, silver plated and nickel plated. The silver plated box is checked off.
I found some silver plated copper wire on eBay and they're selling small hanks of it for pretty good money.
I'm just an old car scrapper but I like to try and maximize value.
Here's a pic of the tag on this roll of wire.
It's got to be better than just #2 Cu doesn't it?
What section of the site would be best to pose this ?

Well, there's your proof right there, Belden is an old company making hookup wire and coaxes for communications. I'd list it on Evilbay and include a pic of that ticket, the people wanting to buy will know some of the spec's listed. That's if you have enough of it to make it worthwhile to list.
