Rabbithunter 456 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 What sort of money are you getting for sheathed copper cable at the moment? And where abouts in the country are you getting it? cheers RH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maty j 6 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 A mate was saying when they did the re-wires they would keep the old copper and weigh it In every so often. He never mentioned figures and I doubt you would get rich from it but I'm sure It would pay for a round or 2 Friday night. I never pay much attention to the news but wasn't there a lad that got caught nicking some recently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
