Stripping smaller gauge wire? worth it?

Perhaps instead of monkeying around for $1; explore your options, take that time and educate yourself and get creative and figure out how to make more. Reading threads for 1 hr on this forum will net you more per hour in the long run than struggling with a pound of wire.( which coincidentally you'll need to strip at a small gauge wire recovery rate to make 1$.

Likewise that wire could of made you $0.70 un stripped so your formula needs to account for a 30% increase per pound. The question is efficiency. It's most efficient to sell as is to someone who can properly and efficiently strip/ recover the material.
