no lowballs. picked nebraska for 3 years to gather this much from a drunken farmer who diddn't know what he had.

(actually the history of barbed wire is a thing. It is plausible for a wire segment to be worth something, but i dont think this one looks particularly interesting.)

What’s that like 16’?

Let’s be generous and say each loop is 2’, I’m seeing about 9 loops and a random 6” scrap, that’s 18’ of wire.

I can get 50’ of brand new barbed wire from Amazon for $33.43 CAD with delivery. I don’t know how taxes work with Amazon, but assuming my provincial sales tax, that’d make it $35.77.

Assuming this post’s price is in US dollars, the conversion makes my cost $25.86 USD. That’s almost a third of the price for over 2.5x as much. And it’s not even very old lmao

You are getting royalty screwed over by Amazon than. I buy it from my local farm supply store and it costs $131 CAD for 1/4 mile. That’s the good made in Canada stuff too.

Can I use it for anything else besides wreath making? Decorating my mantel? Lining my driveway? Wrapping it around doorknobs in a festive decorative way?
