Has anyone else noticed that there are several companies online offering 250' 12/2 NM anywhere from $43-$52 a roll?

Has to be a scam or typo but there's more than one.

Best price I'm finding locally is $101.00 per 250'

Where to both?

At my local orange store: $129.00 (52¢ /ft.)
 
My primary supply house shows my default price for today as $106. Prices change regularly based on the price of copper.

There is no way I would trust someone selling it at the prices you show unless its a couple rolls at a garage/estate sale.

I feel the same way.

FWIW I’m going to attempt to contact the Co. and see if I get a reply.

Even if I get a positive reply it’s most likely still some form of scam.

They can tell you anything , but once you’ve committed payment then it’s just a gamble.
 
Word of Caution. Had someone get some of this cheap stuff, 250' 12/2 NM, and as it was being unspooled found multiple spots that had bared or open outer sheath, and found some spots just by luck probably with the conductors bared.

Probably failed QA at the factory and sold as scrap (or stolen).
