Romex isn't suitable for underground. Even if it is in conduit it needs
to be a wet location rated cable or conductor to be in the ground.

I realize that, and only mentioned romex as a tag to find
the $2/foot auction for a representative price point.
Unfortunately, insulation type letters like RHW, THW, THHW,
and XHHW don't seem to be particularly useful for ebay searches.
