    This has been basically said by those claiming you're losing money by cutting the wires. But to reiterate. You don't lose money based on the time it takes you to cut the wire. The loss is in the fact that you are devaluing the power supply itself, 99% of the weight. Of course, this doesn't apply if you get the same price for the power supplies with or with out the wire. But in my case, I get on the order of $0.26# w/ wire, and $0.22# without the wire. So yes, I can cut wires and get a little bit higher price on a couple Oz, but by doing so I lose $0.04# on the sale price of the box (~99% of the material by mass).
