Why Sellers Choose Us
What selling surplus wire to us involves on your end
Funds change hands before a single reel leaves your property. There is no consignment and no waiting on a downstream resale.
You are never asked to sort, measure, strip or re-spool anything. Our team grades the material from photos and our own inspection.
Trucks, forklifts, reel handling and pallet wrapping are billed to us. That cost is already priced into the offer you receive.
Full reels, partial reels, boxed coils, loose cut-offs and several different constructions on one skid are all normal to us.
Wire and Cable We Buy
Every construction is in scope, from 14 AWG spools to 1000 MCM feeder reels

A scrap price is metal weight minus the yard's processing cost. It ignores entirely the fact that somebody, somewhere, needs exactly your construction and gauge next week and is looking at a lead time or a price increase to buy it new. That gap is where your money is.
We pay resale value on usable material and recovery value on wire that genuinely is scrap — and we tell you honestly which one you have. There is no downside to asking first, because we buy in both cases.
What Adds Value to Your Lot
- Full, unopened reels and sealed cartons with intact labels.
- A legible print line on the jacket showing size, type and voltage.
- The original reel tag still stapled to the flange.
- Larger gauge: 500 MCM and up is worth freighting a long way for.
- Mainstream print lines with an active contractor market.
- Material stored indoors, out of the sun and off the ground.
What drives the price of surplus wire →
Wire and Cable Is All We Buy
That focus is why our numbers beat scrap yards and general liquidators. We know what a specific gauge, construction and insulation combination is actually worth to the next contractor, instead of pricing your reels by the pound. Four coils in a shop or a warehouse of aged distributor stock, the process is the same.

How the Sale Works
Four steps, none of which cost you anything
Send What You Have
A photograph of the reel tags and one wide shot of the pallet is enough to begin. If the tags are gone, photograph the print line on the jacket and we will identify the material from that.
Receive a Firm Offer
We respond with a committed cash figure, usually the same day. It is an offer rather than an estimate, and it does not move afterward.
Schedule on Your Terms
Pickup is arranged around your yard hours, shop schedule or dock availability. Where a dock appointment or gate code is required, we work around it.
We Pay, Then We Haul
Payment is completed before anything moves. Our crew performs the loading, the reel handling and the wrapping, and our truck removes it.

Seller Guides
Selling Surplus Wire: Common Questions
Straight answers
What kinds of wire and cable do you buy?
THHN and THWN-2 building wire, XHHW-2, NM-B Romex, MC and AC cable, USE and URD aluminum, tray cable, SO and SOOW portable cord, welding cable, MV-105 medium voltage cable, THHN and XHHW feeder reels, fire alarm and low voltage cable, coax and category cable, and bare copper and aluminum conductor. Wire and cable is all we buy, which is why we can price it better than a general scrap buyer.
Do I have to sort or measure the wire before you make an offer?
No. Sorting is never required. We grade a lot ourselves from photos, the reel tags and our own inspection at pickup.
Who pays for freight and loading?
We do. Trucking, forklifts, reel handling and pallet wrapping are our cost and are already built into the offer you receive.
When do I get paid?
Before anything leaves your property. Our offers are cash offers and are not contingent on us reselling the material.
Will you buy just a few partial reels?
Yes. A pallet is worth a call. We also buy entire warehouse inventories, contractor shop cleanouts and distributor liquidation lots as one purchase.
Do you buy aluminum, or only copper?
Both. Aluminum URD, triplex, XHHW and SER all have active resale markets. Do not assume aluminum is only worth scrap price, because frequently it is not.
Do you buy wire that is weathered, unlabeled or cut short?
Yes, as recovery-grade purchases priced on copper and aluminum content. Do not assume that is what you have, though. Sellers routinely scrap reels we would have paid several times scrap price for.
Have Surplus Wire to Sell?
Call or text photos of the reels and we will return a firm offer, usually the same day.
