I think you need to find another yard. #1 insulated should bring about 3x that much if you cut off the ends. #2 insulated around $1 lb. Even if your area is 25% lower than mine, you still should be twice that number for #1

I think you'll find Silicon Valley was mostly chip makers/designers, not computers, those were made or assembled elsewhere

#2 insulated should be closer to a dollar a pound. I'd find another yard.

Did you happen to take your wire to AAA Metal Scrap in the Strip District. I took some computer wire down there a couple of weeks ago, and that is what they paid me. Off topic, but FYI, AAA is the only place i've found in western PA that will buy low-grade circuit boards.

I did and I like the guys at AAA always friendly always helpful since this is more of a hobby and a way of cleaning up for me I do not always need to squeeze the most out of a load. What was the rate they gave you on low grade boards?
