    I save mine 'cause I feel like I am not getting the best price either. My e-waste guy in Montreal takes all number 2 at 1.05 a pound, connectors loom and all. He gets all my wire, and makes the trip worthwhile for me to bring my boards, HDs and power supplies. When I go I have a few 55 gal drums full of wire.
    I am more likely to strip appliances of wire than to go after the wiring harness of a car. (not that I haven't done it a few times..)
    On a side note I always get the wire to and from the startor to battery and the ground (that's nice stuff).
