    Any good avenues for phone cords?

    I've got a few dozen pounds of mixed RJ-11 style phone cords...ebay isn't that promising...just making sure I am not missing out by just scrapping them...

    Check to see if your yard has a category for 'Telco'. If not, some of the buyers here may purchase it as cat5/cat wire.

    My yard takes them as #2....cat cables do go higher if you have a few hundred pounds. If they aren't selling on ebay or here, sounds like scrap time.
