What might be the last operational
Sears department store in the world is located here in Greensboro, North Carolina.
That distinction is going to end very soon - not because more are slated to open,
but because it is finally closing its doors. I consider the demise of Sears, Roebuck &
Co. to be a national tragedy. It is yet another of the major companies from the
foundation of America's world economic and technical leadership that has either
gone out of business or sold out to foreign entities.
Melanie and I visited the Sears during the final days when
used fixtures, office equipment, and maintenance items were all that was left. A
table of spools of various types of cable presented an opportunity to get some pretty
good deals on RG-59 coax and a few kinds of twisted pair cables. I bought a few
for myself, but also got many others that I figured someone else would find useful.
Some reels / boxes are full or nearly full, and I guestimate at least 100 feet
on others. Photos are shown below. Since I do not have the time or the will to unspool,
measure the length of, and re-spool any of it, your powers of estimations will be
relied upon.
Because of the weight, local pickup here in southeast Greensboro,
NC, will be the best method for delivery. Selling the entire lot together is preferred.
Of course I at least want to make back what I paid for it, so I'm setting the price
at $250 (cash payment only). There is easily more than $1000 worth of cable here
(probably more like $2000).
