At HD that is true for now because they are still working off old orders. Once they have to reorder you will not see that low $122 anymore.Up 300% ?
From what to what?
Here in Kansas City it's gone up about 80% from $68 per 250' to $122 per 250'
Just gives me another reason to wire my house with MC. Gonna be cheaper and better now.

I'm going to be finally wiring my house at some point in the next year or two (it's a slow moving project). we'll see what prices are when I dig into it, but I was thinking of using MC anyway.Just gives me another reason to wire my house with MC. Gonna be cheaper and better now.

Smart MC saves 30% on labor - no green wire, no redheads, secure every 6 ft instead of 4 1/2.Actually I kind of like AC better. Tougher, quicker makeup without the green wire, less waste of resources. Only problem is AC is not common in this area, most supply House people look at you like you have two heads if you ask for it.
