It's not like $200 worth of wire takes up that much space and there's always another project that needs it. It's only going to get more expensive.
I may not ever need it. Besides, the client pays for it anyway. This is left over from the roll he bought. It was factored into my bid.
Bingo. I get cheap wire I find at thrift stores. Running low-voltage wiring, power for security cameras, etc. Will have some use in the future.
This was my thought too. I have ~25' 12-2 MC and~40' of 12-2 Romex sitting on a shelf in my garage waiting for an opportunity to get used.
I was floored the last time I saw wire prices at fleet farm a few months ago.
