Why Sellers Choose Us
What a Fort Madison wire sale 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 in Fort Madison
Every construction is in scope, from 14 AWG spools to 1000 MCM feeder reels
The Fort Madison Market
When a Fort Madison project closes out, the leftover wire usually becomes somebody's storage problem. We turn it back into cash instead. Our the Corn Belt buyers handle Fort Madison and everything around it in IA. You get one number, in writing, and we stand behind it. No re-weighing and re-trading the price once the truck arrives.
Every construction is in scope. What we see most often in Fort Madison is pallets of 12 AWG THHN spools in mixed colors and sealed cartons of 12/2 and 12/3 MC cable. Across Iowa we also buy triplex and quadruplex overhead conductor, cut-offs and short pieces swept up from a jobsite and wooden reels of 350 MCM XHHW-2 from a cancelled feeder.
Who We Buy From
Our sellers here are typically general contractors on an adaptive-reuse project, warehouse and distribution center owners, solar and wind EPC firms with leftover conductor. We also buy from utility contractors with surplus reels and industrial auctioneers with unsold lots.
The situations that put surplus wire on the market look like this:
- The business is closing and remaining inventory is being liquidated.
- The shop is moving and nobody wants to pay to freight old reels to the new building.
- Year-end inventory made it obvious the wire was dead capital.
- A project was cancelled after the wire had already been delivered.
Pickup and Freight in Fort Madison
Mileage from Des Moines is absorbed on our side of the transaction rather than deducted from your offer. If a gate code or dock appointment is required, tell us and we will schedule around it.
The material is valued on its own merits. The cost of getting it out of Fort Madison is absorbed on our side. Sellers who already hold a scrap quote often find the difference substantial, because a scrap figure pays metal weight minus processing and ignores what a full reel with a legible print line is worth to somebody who needs to pull it.
Common Iowa Constructions
Tray Cable & Control Cable
TC-ER, VFD and multiconductor control cable off industrial and process jobs.

Send photos of the reels and receive a firm number, usually the same day.
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 it 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 in Fort Madison is arranged around your yard hours, shop schedule or dock availability. If a dock appointment or gate code is needed, 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.

We cover 103 locations in Iowa.
Selling Surplus Wire in Fort Madison: Common Questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to Fort Madison to pick up the wire?
Yes. Mileage from Des Moines is absorbed on our side of the transaction rather than deducted from your offer. We do not ask you to arrange freight, palletize anything or deliver material to us.
Do I need to measure or sort it first?
No. Sorting is never a condition of our offer. We grade a lot from photos, the reel tags and our own inspection at pickup.
What if the reels are only partially full?
We still buy them. A full unopened reel is worth the most, but partials sell well, and even short cut-offs have recovery value. Tell us roughly what is there and we will quote the whole lot.
When do I get paid?
Before anything leaves your property. Payment is not contingent on us reselling the material afterward.
Will you buy a few coils in Fort Madison, or only truckloads?
Both. A pallet is worth a call, and if you have a warehouse full of aged stock we will quote the entire inventory as one purchase.
Do you buy aluminum as well as copper?
Yes. Aluminum URD, triplex, XHHW and SER all have real resale markets, and we buy them readily. Do not assume aluminum is only worth scrap price.
Have Surplus Wire in Fort Madison to Sell?
Call or text photos of the reels and we will return a firm offer, usually the same day.
