ive put of buying new leads for over a year now was not going to pay the prices in Aug. copper was $3.60 lbcopper closed 10/24/08 @ 1.68 lb when are the prices of leads and ex cords going down
Reply:More than likely never or not much.Companies use any excuse to raise the prices but when it goes the other way there's always some reason why they don't.Shipping costs have gone up, price of manufacturing has gone up, Fred's dog died and he needed money for a funeral etc. Gas, in my opinion, is a prime example.  the price will go up 10 cents and then a couple of days later drop 2 cents and people think they're getting a bargain.Sorry, had to rant :-)....Mike
