So a private citizen in possession of valuable stripped copper wire can't sell it legally here. Can't sell wire legally.....but could one sell what used to be wire?
How about doing what a couple have done and pack it into a flat rate box and ship it to HighVoltage? http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/scrap...astern-pa.html
