    Web Site

    Just had a guy call about pricing on what I buy stuff for First thing I asked is what do you have He said Aluminum cans then I asked what else have you got he said a microwave and some wire. So I told him email me a picture of what he had.

    Here is the dilemma that I find myself in When they ask how much I pay a Pound it is hard to tell them I buy it by the Load rather then by the pound.

    I am wondering if anyone else has run into this Problem?



    Oh yeah I am having my web site Read For a approximated Quote Email the Materials you have @ My Email Address

    If it's coax from the cable co., that stuff is junk but the satellite stuff should be copper. At least 20 years ago it was all top quality copper, used to cost 1.50 - 2.00 a foot for the all in one cables. If their using steel coax on the newer baby dishes, maybe that's why their pictures are so crappy.

    Dewgood, you hit it right on the nail. $40 exactly for the coax. Since all it was good for is scrap, not wire price or anything.
