guess how much.

I took this pile of #1 insulated in the other day. I also had a decent amount of other stuff. Batteries, sealed units and a/c coils. But for fun. How much do you think this wire was worth? Insulated #1 was $1.65 That day. And I left with $232 total.

$100.50

Really close. Thats what I guessed when I pulled it out the dumpster I found it in. Couple more guesses and ill reveal.

Ok. Ok. I know the suspense is great. So ill tell. It was 92 bucks. That was my first ever real load of other than big metal. I sure did enjoy turning it in. Cuz I sure needed that money. My wife will get onto me sometimes about my piles. But the way I see it. Is its money I cant spend. Something like a scrap savings account. Lol

What kind of a dumpster did you find that in? WOuld like to have a bunch of those dumpsters around me haha.

You could have made twice that if you had stipped the insulation off. But to each his owen.

I didnt really have the means to strip. Or the time. I got it for free. Made 92 bux. I think I did fine.
Also I found it in my National Guard units dumpster. Ive gotten a few goodies out of there. Military waste though is out of this world.
