    yes, usb is always gold to gold. The cable is usually insulated and jacketed so your probably looking at #3 insulated, that would be my guess. maybe $2 pound on the connectors and 30 cents pound on the wire.
    I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
    I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE

    Yes USB ends can be sold as old connector ends. Nothing special on the wire that I know of.
