I will call and get a current market price on Ni/Cr Monday and let you know.
The elements I save come out of central ac/heat units and are bare wire not insulated. As far as insulated elements, such as stove or dryer, I can see were they don't offer much cash as they are mostly made up of a heavy coating but cleaned should be worth much more. It does have a higher percentage of Nickel then other alloys I see.

The actual wire( Ni/Cr) is pliable yet the outer insulating coating is brittle! A bit of hammer action should yield clean heavy Ni/Cr wire.

I only mention this because nickel is at $11.00 plus a pound these days. Come Monday I will have more info on it's value. and get back to you!
