Start Here

Send a reel tag photo and receive a firm number, usually the same day. There is no obligation.

Or call 954-740-1983. A couple of photos and the reel tags get you the fastest, firmest number — text or email them anytime.

01You Are Paid Before It Moves

Funds change hands before a single reel leaves your property. There is no consignment and no waiting on a downstream resale.

02No Sorting Or Stripping

You are never asked to sort, measure, strip or re-spool anything. Our team grades the material from photos and our own inspection.

03We Cover Freight and Loading

Trucks, forklifts, reel handling and pallet wrapping are billed to us. That cost is already priced into the offer you receive.

04Mixed Lots Are Welcome

Full reels, partial reels, boxed coils, loose cut-offs and several different constructions on one skid are all normal to us.

1. Send photos

One or two reel tag shots and one wide shot of the pile. Text them, email them, or use the form on this page. If every tag is gone, send the wide shots anyway — reel size, flange stamps and jacket print tell us a great deal.

2. We price it

Usually the same day. We price against real resale demand for your specific sizes and insulation types, not just against the copper inside. You get one number, in writing, and we tell you plainly whether the lot is resale-grade or scrap-grade.

3. You accept, nothing changes

The number is firm. No consignment, no waiting to see what it sells for, no contingency on our resale.

4. We plan the pick

Reel weights, door widths, whether a forklift is on site, and the route out. Basement wire rooms, upper floors with a freight elevator, locked yards and tight urban docks are all routine. We bring our own means of loading when you have none.

5. We pay you

Payment lands before the wire moves. You are never in the position of having released the material and waiting on funds.

6. We load and haul it

Our crew, our straps, our trucks, our cost. Reel handling, banding, wrapping, pallet build-up and the haul itself are included. We sweep up behind ourselves.

Questions sellers ask us

Straight answers

What do you need from me to make an offer?

A photo of a reel tag or two, and one wide shot showing the whole pile so we can judge volume. Anything else you know helps but is not required.

Is the offer firm, or does it change when the truck arrives?

Firm. We do not re-trade the price on arrival. The only thing that changes an agreed number is discovering the lot is materially different from what was represented — aluminum where copper was described, or a quarter of the footage.

When exactly do I get paid?

Before the wire leaves your property.

Do I have to sort or count anything?

No. Mixed sizes, mixed insulation types and unmarked partials are normal. Sorting is our job and we price the lot as we find it.

What if I accept and then change my mind?

Tell us before the truck is dispatched and there is no issue and no cost to you.
