I was using the app. It would load but not show up. I uninstalled the app and used the website, finally got it to work. I have a really hard time with pics on this forum. They work perfectly on FHC forum.

This also happened to me in rainy weather when the 5G coverage deteriorates

There's no 5g here, hardly any phone signal at all and very slow dsl wifi.

Here 5g means $5000

Here 5g means $5000

In our country, we call currency in thousands 5k

Yes.....
Old guys like me call $5000 5g or 5 grand.

Overseas folks on the goofy metric system call it 5k which I have no idea why. A 5k is a 5 kilometer run. An item weighs 5k or 5 kilograms.

The druggies here call $5000 ..... 5 stacks.

We all use different terms

A few years back I got a 1000ft spool of 12-2 NMB wire for $170.

Those who buy wire will understand how good of a deal that was. Some kiddo misprinted the shelf label for a 1000ft reel and put the SKU of the a 250ft on it. I thought about clearing out the shelf but I am not a greedy guy.

Very good deal. The thing is, back before Covid that was the normal price. 175 to 225 was the norm out here in 2019.

With all due respect it most certainly was not the normal price before COVID........not at all. It had ZERO to due with COVID. The purchase I am referencing was well before the entire BS excuse of COVID. The price of copper skyrocketed around 15 years ago. When it did we had thieving bastards breaking into new home construction sites stealing/ripping wiring out.

Years ago in the mid 1980's when aluminum prices skyrocketed the thieving bastards took my Dad's1960's 16ft Monark jon boat. and slid it 1/2 mile down the Mississippi across the ice to load ot on a trailer and scrap it.

Well, the year before covid we were buying 1000ft spool for 175 to 225. Your right copper did jumpsuit ot came back down. In 2019 towards the end of the year we bought some for a little under 200 a spool for a house we built.

Then, towards the end of 2020 and into 2021 we saw it as high as around 650 to 700 a spool. Currently it's 400 a spool 9n "Sale" at the same store with a normal price of 450 a spool.

Maybe it wasn't covid. But they claimed it was a shortage due to a supply problem caused by covid.

 

[pbillyi69]

the supply problem was 100% the railroads fault.....i work for one of the big ones and they way they took advantage of covid to maximise profits is how the supply problem happened

 

[Bill G]

The prices I referenced were well before any COVID crap. I know things get blamed on COVID and I do that myself but the price of copper back in 2010 was unrelated.

Anyone remember what happened to the price of Walnut timber ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympics?

I know guys from back around 2010 that were selling scrap copper for about 6 bucks a pound. They made out good. Price of wire was way up then as well. If that's the time frame your talking about, then yes, you did good, real good on that 1000 foot spool.
