What Did Romex Wire Cost Pre-Stupid Era?
I guess it's good that you can get it. (?)

Last spring I was at Depot for work, checking out at the Pro desk and noticed a pallet of Romex, rolls stacked about knee high. I drifted over to it to glance at the invoice taped to it, and it was sold to the local electrical supply house just up the road. I guess they couldn't get it and HD had the buying power to keep it coming.
