Greetings, 
   I usually charge $40 for the wire in a restringing.  However, if you want 
to really get down to the pennies: 
#13 wire= 384 ft.per pound 
#14 = 330
#15 = 295
#16 = 275
#17 = 248 
#18 = 223
#19 = 200
#20 = 182
#21 = 165 
#22 = 156 

   Geez, what a mess!  now who is going to come over here and help me get all 
this wire back in the cans???
