Where are the 77 cent power cords?
« on: September 05, 2010, »
Where are the 77 cent power cords?  I bought 64 from Lowes for 77 cents each and just went to order another 64 but they now are $1.14

Does anyone know where I can still get them at about the 77 cent ?

Ron,
I picked up some at the dollar store. More than $.77, but still pretty cheap. They don't always have them, but I look every time I take the grandkids there.

I bought 160, never realized the company was in Canada, I hope the credit card doesn't charge me fees for foreign transactions :(.
Still I don’t have the credit card bill so I don’t know yet.

I will check my local Walmart.  I had bought some from Dollar tree before.  The quality was not as good as the 77 cent ones from Lowes.  It was silly of me not to buy what I needed when I bought the 64 earlier this year.  I still need at least 64 more to barely complete my needs.  Plus I have 2 spare controllers so that will be another 32.  Maybe I could stop by my Dollar store and make a deal on a case?

Thanks guys

I'm guessing after reading this thread that the connectors used on the boards will accommodate 16/2 wiring fine?  the WIKI reference material seems to suggest using 18/2 wiring, which seems to be a very hard to find extension cord gauge.

The 16/2 will fit easily.

Well, I thought I might be able to place an on line order.  They are $1.14 on line.  Same price as Lowes.

Would you be interested in shipping out a care package of about 96 -  69 cent cords?

That is strange.  You can buy 96 of them at your store for $66 and if you buy them on line they are $$109.  That is $43 more.  ???

Monoprice is in Rancho Cucamonga, California. When you look at the package tracking info, the packages go out through Ontario, California, not Canada.
