    How much would you expect/want for insulated 24 gauge copper wire?

    The goods news is I have about 70 lbs of it. I wanted to call and check but they were closed it being the 4th and all. I would be happy for anything here as its all ready to go and I didnt have to do any work to get to it. Anyone have experience scrapping some similar wire?

    24 gauge wire is really thin....my yard paid like .50/lb as it is low yield #2 insulated...really dont expect too much as the copper content in that is low.
