Quote Houston Wire & Cable Material
Send photos of the reel tags and receive a firm number, usually the same day. No obligation.
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.

Selling Houston Wire & Cable wire
Straight answers
Do you only buy Houston Wire & Cable wire?
No. We buy every print line, and unbranded material as well. The manufacturer affects the resale pool and therefore the price, but it never determines whether we are interested.
My Houston Wire & Cable reel tag is missing. Is that a problem?
Not a serious one. Photograph the jacket instead. The print line repeats along the length of the conductor and usually carries the size, the insulation type and the voltage rating, which is most of what we need.
Is older Houston Wire & Cable stock worth anything?
Frequently yes. Copper does not expire and insulation compounds hold up well indoors. What matters is gauge, construction and storage condition rather than the year it was manufactured.
