I have been watching the price of romex at the "box" stores.
23.99 - 39.99 - 54.99 and now 64.24 for 250 feet of 12-2.

Is this the same elsewhere or we being ripped off?

I know Alaska's prices are higher but this seems really high.

It is not just copper being at a high point, all polymer and petro-chemical based materials are getting sky high. In the utility field we have seen numerous price increases and some materials now have 84 week lead times on them.

Amen to that. One of my supply houses made mention that they couldn't even place an order for PVC. I don't know how true this might be but they (the supply house) suspected that when the "big "re-build" comes to the New Orleans area there will suddenly and mysteriously be a glut of PVC available at top $$. Will FEMA be footing the bill ?

12-2 NM WENT FROM 32.50 A ROLL TO 48.50 A ROLL THEN BACK DOWN TO 39 A ROLL AT THE LOCAL BIG BOX HERE. I THINK SOMEONE TALKED TO THEM ABOUT PRICE GOUGING AND THEY BROUGHT IT BACK DOWN TO 39.00 FOR A WEEK.
