Now that copper has dropped, what are you guys paying for wire? Most of my buying is portable cord, so i requested pricing this morning for some THHN to see how it comes out. #12 solid, under $70/M #10, under $140/M, #6 under $300/M lets hope it keeps dropping. I miss the days of a $25 500' spool of 12.
Bought 250 today for $3.20 and 2/0 for $1.79 both were THHN

I bought 2000 feet of 4/0 last week at 3.26 a foot.. I think I got robbed after seeing the post above.. but then again 3-4 weeks ago it was more like 4.15 a foot and then today I went to buy more 4/0 and it was only 3.10 so thats a good sign... however romex having a pvc based jacket will still be high... damn gas prices.

I bought 135' of #2 THHN for somewhere around $200 today at big blue. I should have bought the whole spool :mad:
