which of these are gold connectors?

There's a pretty thin margin with the ribbon cables and connector ends. It all depends on what your shipping costs are per pound.

ie: Lets say shipping was .65 per pound and a buyer was paying .60 per pound for connector ends. You would be losing .05 per pound.

On the other hand: Ribbon wire with ends might pay a little more per pound so you would break even or maybe even make a little profit.



It all depends on the numbers. They change every month or so. Sometimes it's worth doing, and other times it isn't profitable.

They have mostly been load toppers for me. Only other time I have sent low pay stuff like that was in a pallet load or in person.
