Cables can be all over the map as recovery will be different for the cable size. I'd start low so not to get hurt, and do some recovery tests on the cables that you do buy/have and see what the numbers are. In stripping cables at the yard they ran from 40%-90% #2 copper recovery. It really depends on the type of cable used, 2ga. or 4ga. I'd bet that a cheap Wal-Mart cable would have such a low recovery that a buck would be the limit in purchase price.

Okay, well I was hoping to get them for a buck or less, so that should be good. Thanks for replying!
