01 — What we buy

Five families of wire, one yard to send them to

Building wire, industrial cable, control and signal cable, low-voltage cable, and medium or high voltage cable. If it moves current or carries a signal, it belongs in the conversation — from a half reel of #12 THHN to a 15kV feeder on a wooden reel.

02 — How selling works

Four steps, no obligation

You send the material details. We read the tags and the photos, tell you what is worth quoting, and only then does money and logistics enter the conversation.

  1. 01

    Submit inventory details and photos

    Use the quote form with the wire type, metal, gauge, voltage, footage, condition and up to eight photos. Reel tags, jacket legends and cut ends are the four photographs that answer most questions.

  2. 02

    We review the material

    Construction, gauge, insulation, shield, condition and footage are checked against what is actually usable in the field. If a photo is unclear, we ask for one more rather than guess at a number.

  3. 03

    Pricing and logistics are discussed

    You get a specific offer with its assumptions stated, plus how pickup or shipping would work from your address. Nothing moves until both sides agree.

  4. 04

    Pickup or shipping is arranged

    Dock or liftgate, forklift, gate hours and access are confirmed in advance. Material leaves only after the details match the photos.

04 — Sizes and packaging

From a coil of #14 to a 1000 MCM reel

Wire arrives in more shapes than most sellers expect. Full reels and partial reels, wooden reels and steel spools, coils, cartons and loose inventory are all reviewed.

07 — FAQs

Questions sellers ask first

The short answers are here. The long answers, including photo guidance and pricing assumptions, are on the FAQ page.

All frequently asked questions

What kind of wire do you buy?

Copper and aluminum electrical wire and cable: building wire such as THHN, THWN, THWN-2, XHHW and XHHW-2; MC, AC, tray, VFD, TC/TC-ER, PLTC, SER, SEU, URD and USE-2 cable; bare and insulated copper, grounding wire and welding cable; control, instrumentation, communication and shielded cable; fire-alarm and low-voltage cable; and medium- and high-voltage cable from 5kV through 69kV and above when available.

What do you not buy?

This site is only about electrical wire and cable. Transformers, switchgear, breakers, MCCs, generators, bus plugs, chillers, machinery, vehicles and general scrap are outside what we buy. Stripped, burned or mixed-metal scrap is also outside scope, because it is no longer cable.

Is there a minimum quantity?

No stated minimum, but a single short cut length is rarely worth a dedicated trip. Small lots are usually grouped with other material from the same shop or storeroom. Send the list and we will tell you whether it stands alone or should wait for a larger lot.

What photos should I take?

Four photos per reel cover most of it: the reel tag or label, the jacket legend printed along the cable, the cut end showing conductor count and gauge, and a wider shot of the reel or the whole stack. For boxes, photograph the box label and the remaining spool inside.

What if the label is faded or missing?

Send the photo anyway, plus the cut end, the outside diameter and the conductor count. Faded legends often still read in a straight-on, well-lit photo, and the cut end answers most of the remaining questions.

How is surplus wire priced?

Price reflects the metal (copper or aluminum), the construction and gauge, the voltage class, the condition, and the footage. Metal markets move, so an offer is tied to the assumptions in the submission and to the date it was made.

Why does the same gauge sometimes get different offers?

Insulation and jacket type, voltage rating, shielding, manufacturer, age and storage conditions all affect what the cable can be used for. Two reels of 2 AWG can have very different value depending on construction and condition.
