A buying desk, not a broker
We buy electrical wire and cable directly from the people who hold it. No listing, no auction, no commission, and no middle party between your inventory and the decision.

Why the tag comes first
Most surplus cable in the Carolinas is not scrap. It is inventory that lost its project: a reel that was ordered for a line that was retooled, a feeder sized for a building that was value-engineered, a storehouse of control cable for equipment that was replaced. The copper in it has a floor value. The cable itself may be worth considerably more than that floor, and the difference is almost always documentation.
That is the whole method here. A reel tag, a jacket print, a purchase record and an honest statement of storage will move a lot from recovery pricing to inventory pricing. Without them, the material still has value, but it is the value of metal and effort rather than the value of cable. We say which one we are looking at, and why.
We are set up for the ordinary case: a plant engineer with a storehouse to clear, a project manager demobilising a job, a contractor with twelve partial reels in a trailer, a co-op with a yard of retired conductor, a distributor with dead stock. We are also set up for the difficult case: a mill that has been closing for two years, a demolition with no paperwork, a lot that has been picked over twice before anyone called.
What we buy
Copper and aluminium power cable from 600 V building wire to 35 kV shielded medium voltage; tray, control, instrumentation, VFD, welding, portable cord, URD, USE-2, SER, SEU, MC, AC, NM-B, submersible pump cable, bare copper, grounding conductor, solar PV cable and data cable. New surplus, unused stock, partial reels, removed cable and scrap.
Lots are reviewed as they sit. We do not ask a seller to cut, strip, weigh or re-spool material before a first conversation, because that work costs money and may not be necessary.
How terms work
A review is not a purchase. After the lot is described, a buyer comes back with questions or an offer basis: what is being bought, how it is measured, what condition is assumed, who arranges freight, who loads, when it moves and how payment is made. Nothing is bought, moved or scheduled until those terms are agreed in writing for that specific lot.
We do not publish prices, because a price without the construction, the footage and the condition is a guess dressed up as a number. Anyone quoting you a firm figure from a photograph alone is quoting a range and hoping.
What we will not take
Live conductors, oil-filled switchgear and transformers, PCB-contaminated material, asbestos-containing components and anything that requires environmental remediation are out of scope. So is cable that has been burned to recover copper. If a lot contains any of these, say so at the start; it saves a wasted visit and keeps the rest of the conversation honest.
Talk to the person who decides
There is no queue and no account manager. The reply comes from the desk that reviews the lot.
