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.

500 MCM material we buy

The highest value per reel in the business. A handful of full MCM reels can be a five figure transaction.

We bring the equipment to load these. Never cut MCM reels down or strip them before calling, it destroys the resale premium.

500 MCM wire questions

Straight answers

What is surplus 500 MCM wire worth?

It depends on the metal, the insulation type, the footage and the packaging more than on the gauge alone. Two 500 MCM lots can be worth very different numbers if one is full copper reels with legible tags and the other is loose aluminum cut-offs. Send the reel tags and we will price yours specifically.

Do you buy single 500 MCM reels or only full pallets?

The highest value per reel in the business. A handful of full MCM reels can be a five figure transaction.

How is 500 MCM usually packaged?

Large wooden reels requiring a forklift or boom truck. We buy all of those.

Does the 500 MCM have to be copper?

No. We buy both copper and aluminum in this size. Aluminum has its own resale market, particularly in URD, triplex and XHHW constructions.
