copper wire price rise

Post by Labbie »

Hi Folks, Just to let you know, Copper Wire or any thing with copper in it. Has gone up. Q-stores use to sell it for $19.95 it went up to $62.33 for the same item. Worth a mention to the Head teacher, next years budgets are due to be put in for next year.

Good Luck

Hi all

If you really want cheap copper wire, contact any electrician for all there scrape pieces and strip it out of the plastic. This is what I do. Its amazing how much you can find lying around, even after there've been at your school

Lead prices have also risen dramatically too. So I wonder if all the lead based chemicals will also rise in price. Does any one know?
