Default Found a great (cheap) source for marine electrical wire

I just bought 60' of 1awg marine grade tinned copper wire on ebay for $2.63 per foot with free shipping.
The ebay seller is vertex -marine and this is there ebay store:
http://stores.ebay.com/Vertex-Marine-Hardware

I needed a special order so I called and spoke with Ken who was very helpful and in only a few minutes, created an auction for exactly what I needed and then sent me a link.

The wire is made by Kalas who manufactures wire for Ancor. Ken stated the wire is the same and could be confirmed by looking at the certificate number on the UL listing....or something like that

Ancor was about $8 per foot plus shipping
Genuinedeals.com was about $3.50 per foot plus shipping
These guys are at $2.63 with free shipping.
I saved about $325 for 60'!
Shipped today as well. I will report back when it arrives.

Genuinedeals.com has free shipping also, but you can't beat saving 80 cents a foot. Good deal, thanks for the info.

I received my order on Friday and couldn't be happier. 3 days shipped from west coat of Canada to east coast of US and shipping was free. Give these guys a look for your next order.

I think the website listed above is incorrect. How about http://shop.genuinedealz.com/
