Power Supply Cable

Hey guys !

I wanted to ask you what do you do with these? I get them with electronic scrap, and i usually keep them, so now I got about 100+ of them.
Do you scrap them or do you sell them ?

Keep what you need and scrap the rest. If you have time try and sell if they dont sell then scrap

May be a good candidate for Ebay if you're willing to deal with the hassle of shipping the cables out. You'd definitely get a better price selling them as is vs. scrapping them.

I think I will try it. Because they cost about 3$ on Ebay, and shipping fees are about 0.85 . So you guys are scrapping them?

Yep!

its only worth selling those on feebay if you sell them in lots. 1 at a time is going to be slow, painful, and very little profit over scrap. if you sell lots of 3 or 5, you only get 1 paypal fee and only have to pay to ship them once. but if you're that bored, go for it.

I already thought about it, and I think i will to it in lots. But I don't use paypal and shipping is also covered by the buyer.
I will try 1 lot and tell you about it, because if I only sell one, it's like I had 3Lb of cable

Lots might be the way to go. They seem to go for a decent amount. I'm tossing mine in a box and when they build up to a sizeable amount, out they'll go.

the lots will more than likely wind up selling to repair people/techs that like to have a few on hand anyway, the singles tend to sell to end users that like to guess on what they need and wind up buying the wrong thing far more often, more headaches. I would definitely only go in multiples.

I notice those have the European plug in and not the American. Make sure you list them properly. There is all different styles depending on the country.

What are these considered as scrap? I normally sort mine out, power cords I keep, Cat5 im getting $1.05/# and coax/ribbion/misc im getting .60-.90 depending on the load that day. I got prob 100 or so, but Dont really want to deal with ebay right now. Unless I can jam them all into a large Flat Rate and sell all at once
