Take cable scrap to the scrappy! ?

They'll give you about 45% of the weight as copper.

If theres more than the one around in your area phone them for a quote first and argue the price. They will pay as little as they can for it if you let them of course;!..

Copper seems to have dropped back a bit of late Heavy copper i.e. solid metal is paying quite a bit more then wire at the moment..

That's handy to know, thanks. I have a huge pile of part-used drums of cable to get shut of.

Would they make more on ebay perhaps?

I think the cost of postage would make it uneconomic. Actually, I was going to take a pile of junk to a car boot sale in the near future, so will see if the cable goes then.

I wouldn't bother unless you have the space on your table. I took about 25 metres of cooker cable to a cbs with a price of =A312 on it. I thought that was realistic given the new vs scrap value. Not even sniff from the chancers who would normally say "I'll give you 50p for it". Don't bother with ebay either, just weigh it in yourself.

Probably fetch more on eBay ...

Few years ago I was told by one genius at a cbs that a camera labelled up as "Digital camera - £1" "that's not a digital camera mate - nah that's a 35mm camra". I explained it was made to look like a 35mm (it was a cheapo plastic thing but worked fine). His reply... "nah that's a 35mm camra". He then tried to open the fake film door to show us where the fim went in

- but of course it wouldnt open. I said well ok - then I suppose you wouldn't need this usb cable that plugs into it either? Then of course it was "too expensive" :-)
