Selling downspouts for 35 cents a pound does not sound feasible. Too much risk for so little reward. However, I have heard that new homes do not come with downspouts so maybe sub-contractors have found a cheap way of getting the downspouts when they are called to install on homes?

In the meantime, I will go with the explanation of "guttersnipes".
What risk? A misdemeanor most likely. Feasible if your next score of dope depended on it.
