Denny Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 For sure, buy it. When you think you have enough, you always run out at a critical time. One of Murphy's laws, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfelix Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Ok I bought it yesterday. 500ft of SPT 2 18AWG UL rated lamp cord for the grand total of $19 and chane. Now I am waiting for their auction. They have a 250ft roll of 14/3 for $74 and a 250 roll of 12/3 wire for $144. Even at 50% of those prices I thought it might go cheaper at their auction.

friskybri Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I was wondering if you could use landscaping electrical wire. It is 16/2 but it states that it is for low volt landscaping lights. spt 2 for about $85. Is there anything that is better priced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
