    Gold ends

    Recently I recieved a comcast van filled with misc supplies. There is a ton of wireless cardbus adapters and even more ethernet cables, RCA cable ect.. They appear to look gold but anyone here know for sure? Thanks

    ethernet cables have gold usually RCA does not and im not sure on ther other if they are good cables your best bet is put them on ebay and see if you can sell them as aparently top dollar is 2 bucks a pound for ends and coated copper is not real high dollar either but if scrapping is your thing go for it

    Most of the buyers who are members here do buy just ends. Check out this thread it explains a lot, Mike.
