jasonb5449 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Title says it all. There's a million places to order wire and plugs from but wondered if anyone has a honey hole they like to order from?
portcity_gt Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Ive done the math and its cheaper to just buy extension cords, but most people on here like to build them.That being said last month home depot .com had a good deal on them @ $200 for 1000' sp1 and 50 cents each on plugs.
portcity_gt Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Sorry, I got confused. Its actually $32 for 250'. So its $128 for 1000'
jasonb5449 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 I didn't even think to look at HD or Lowes online. That is the best price I've found on wire. Amazon has some too if you can get it with Prime free shipping.
dknahoolewa Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 the plugs come and go with the season (HD). or atleast here in TX the last couple years I've had to wait till late summer to order them online.
Softball Shawn Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I always use http://www.radiant-holidays.com/Bought from them twice and have had no issues whatsoever. The thing I like about them is when you are buying a 1,000' wire, it comes on a spool, not just a roll. Toss the spool on a spool rack and you never get any kinks or rats nests.
dbltrukr1 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 A lot of sites are having presales right now. Most run through the end of January so you might want to hurry. http://www.radiant-holidays.com/http://www.creativedisplays.com/
jasonb5449 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 $99 for a 1000' roll?? See that's the type of deals I need. Thanks everyone!
Duckman Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 How can one place charge $200 for 1000' of spt-1 wire and another charge $99 for the same thing?
jasonb5449 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 How can one place charge $200 for 1000' of spt-1 wire and another charge $99 for the same thing? Cause it's Ermaraca! LOL I saw that too
jlowe Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Technically, the CDI presale price is 155, which, while still more expensive, seems like a more plausible price difference between vendors. Gotta shop around!
viennaxmas Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I used to get mine from 1000bulbs.com - it was cheaper there to buy 250 ft spools which allowed to pull 4 cables at once (4x250ft - $125, 1000 ft $ 146 /127) and this is regular price... Still radiant is cheaper right now...
jerry72 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Only problem with Home Depot is they only sell the Black or White cord.
Duckman Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 White cord would blend right in with all the snow.
Softball Shawn Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 White cord would blend right in with all the snow. Snow!? It is 87 degrees here in sunny SoCal!
George Simmons Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Rabbits and squirrels tend to leave black and white cords alone, but they sure seem to like munching on the green ones. I've seen that over and over again through the years. The only black cord I can remember having to repair was one I chopped with the snow shovel. On the other hand, I need to repair green ones every year.
rainyoregonchristmas Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 That's because the black cord tastes like licorice . Rabbits hate black licorice... 1
james campbell Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I get mine at Lowes They will price match Menards 32 bucks for 250 foot. Iget my plug ends from Christmaslightshom.com

caniac Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I get mine at Lowes They will price match Menards 32 bucks for 250 foot. Iget my plug ends from Christmaslightshom.comwhere would I find it at Menards? since moving here my only option other than overpriced local places is Menards, no Lowes or Home Depot.
