    Which buyer was purchasing the ribbon cable connectors at $2?

    Anybody remember who was paying $2 per pound for the ribbon cable connectors? Any help is appreciated?

    Since gold has dropped so has gold connector prices. Noone that i have seen is paying $2/# anymore. CFCS is paying $1.40.

    That was me but due to slow sales I had to suspend that for awhile. As soon as it picks up again I will be back buying.
    I am just a small operation and I got overwhelmed with them.

    A good pair of kitchen scissors works wonder's Happyis! Bandsaw seems a might over kill, but then again I like to smash things with a big hammer that don't require one..LOL.

    Scissors I use are kick ass, as mentioned in a past thread. Great for that ribbon wire, an no chance to lose your finger unless your being silly.

    I still have fun throwing a printer 25 feet into the air. I don't think that will get old. Dealing with what's left is the job.
