Title: Solder Prices Double Overnight?
Post by: plexi50 on August 07, 2012, 02:38:44 pm

I went to get a 1lb roll of solder at radioshack last week and the 1lb roll is gone all together. They now have a 8oz roll for the same price ($13.95) as the former 1lb roll. What the heck is going here? Did silver explode overnight or what? This is insane/ :cussing:

That fricken Doug has bought up most of the silver. There's none left for the rest of us!  :laugh:

I found and bought (2) 1lb rolls last night for $18.00 per roll. Free USPS Priority ship too! I feel better now. He has one roll left. It is here:
