Quote 8 AWG Wire
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.
8 AWG material we buy
This band carries good per-pound value and is easy to handle, so even a modest quantity is worth quoting.
Copper content per foot rises sharply through this band, so weight starts mattering more than piece count.

8 AWG wire questions
Straight answers
What is surplus 8 AWG wire worth?
It depends on the metal, the insulation type, the footage and the packaging more than on the gauge alone. Two 8 AWG 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 8 AWG reels or only full pallets?
This band carries good per-pound value and is easy to handle, so even a modest quantity is worth quoting.
How is 8 AWG usually packaged?
Coils and small to medium wooden reels. We buy all of those.
Does the 8 AWG 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.
