(I had to pay for, and got stuck with, the 25-pair.) I honestly don't remember the exact price, but I think I paid 48 cents a foot, which checks with local supply houses suggested is a good price to begin with. If someone would take the whole thing and pick it up here, I'd sell it for just 30 cents a foot, assuming all this happens soon. Please get in touch with me if you're interested. I'm not interested in shipping it or selling little pieces, but I'd have a guy drive it to Seattle or Tacoma for you if you don't have a truck and want the whole thing and will pay the full 48 cents. Then I'll take the loss on the truck and driver instead of on the cable.
