$6-$15 cord for $100+???

RIP woot.

Been here since day one. Wtf is this?

According to description, it’s a 24pack, so $120/24 = $5 each :slight_smile:

lol ok. My bad didn’t realize 24 qty - but still.

I guess bulk cords might appeal - but even then doesn’t seem great. If anyone is interested I have about 20 in a crate in my closet. 6-10’.

Again my fault for shooting from hip assuming 1 for $xxx. Slinking back to my cave.

Oh - while I’m here: get off my lawn.

No worries!

To be fair, the “features” section is all over the place…
24 might not even be right. Could be 1 (15’), 4x10 (40 total), 10, 24, 1 (12’), 32, etc.
So I could understand the confusion.

Hello. I cleaned up the features. You’re getting 24 cords in either 12-foot or 15-foot lengths.

16 gauge? No thanks. That’s much too small for most power requirements for any device that uses this “plug form factor”.

Where are you getting “much too small” from? 25’ of 16 gauge cords are rated to 13 amps, and the IEC C13/C14 plug/receptacle itself is only rated to 10 amps – so any proper device using such plugs would have to consume less than 10 amps (1200w).
