i went to the recycle today and saw a partial spool of wire on it. its got 3 wires in it and it looks bigger or maybe its 10gauge each wire so each wire would be 10gauge or bigger. if the yard guy lets me buy one would i have to pay for the spool to or will they unwind it and just let me pay for the insulated wire? what price is a good price and what will burn me?
According to Google, 10-3 wire costs $1.10 to $1.70 per foot ( new ).
Edit: $0.78 +- per foot in 1,000 foot spools ... possible cheaper in bulk orders
the guy said the owner paid 30 dollars for the partial spool. he said the spool weight is at least 50lb. would i be buying the spool to? i cant really confirm what gauge it is.Quote:

You would probably be buying the spool also. I can't imagine it weighing enough to worry about.
what color is the outer sheeting?
black has 3 wires in it not sure of the gauge of the wires its got some insulation in it like a extension cord? looks like 10 gauge stranded wire. didnt buy it yet.
black is probably bigger that 10. i would guess its 6. i wire houses for a livingQuote:
