Overstock is money sitting on a pallet

A cancelled project leaves reels behind. A job closes out with 600 feet of 4/0 left on the wood. A distributor writes off obsolete stock because the tag no longer matches what anyone is ordering. That wire is still spec material — it just is not moving.

We buy that inventory. Not the transformers, not the switchgear, not the breakers, not the scrap pile — wire and cable only. Send the reel tag, the jacket legend and a photo of what is left on the reel, and you will get a straight answer about whether it is worth buying and what it takes to move it.

How it works

No account setup, no portal, no waiting on a callback you never get. Four steps, and the first one takes about two minutes on a phone.

  1. Send the details and photos

    Use the quote form, call +1 (614) 715-3047, or email saleselectricalbuyers@gmail.com. Photos of the reel, the tag and the jacket legend do most of the work.

  2. We review the wire

    Type, metal, gauge, voltage, conductor count, footage left on the reel, condition and where it is sitting. If something is missing, we ask.

  3. Agree on the number and the logistics

    Price, pickup or delivery, loading method and payment are agreed before anything moves. No surprise deductions at the dock.

  4. The reels leave

    Forklift, dock or ground level — tell us which. We coordinate removal so it fits around your crew's schedule, not the other way around.

Get a real number, not a range

Wire is priced on what the reel actually holds: metal, gauge, insulation, voltage class, and how much is left. Two reels that look identical from ten feet away can be worth very different amounts, which is why we ask for the tag and the legend instead of guessing.

You can call +1 (614) 715-3047 and talk it through, or send everything in writing to saleselectricalbuyers@gmail.com. Either way you are dealing with someone who reads reel tags for a living.

Full reels, partial reels and mixed loads are all normal for us.

Who we buy from

Anyone holding legitimate surplus wire with a clear paper trail can sell it. Most of our volume comes from four kinds of sellers.

Electrical contractors

Closeout leftovers, re-reeled partials and reels pulled from a cancelled job. The wire is already bought and paid for, so it is pure margin sitting in the yard.

Distributors and wholesalers

Discontinued stock, damaged-tag reels, special-order cable a customer never picked up, and slow-moving sizes taking up rack space.

Manufacturers and industrial plants

Maintenance stock, spare feeders, shutdown leftovers and plant-closure inventory, including medium voltage cable.

Construction and demolition

Wire recovered from renovation and teardown work, plus new material bought for a project that changed scope.

Institutional and utility-adjacent

Hospitals, universities, data centers, water and wastewater plants and research facilities clearing out storage rooms.

Warehouses and 3PLs

Abandoned or unclaimed wire stored in a bay, where the storage cost now exceeds what the reels are worth to the occupant.

Common questions

Do you buy partial reels?
Yes. Partial reels are most of what we buy. Tell us the approximate footage left and send a photo of the reel; we price on what is actually there, not on what the tag originally said.
Do you buy scrap wire?
No. We buy spec wire and cable that still has value as wire: identified type, voltage class and size. Unidentified chopped or burned material belongs with a scrap processor, not with us.
What areas of North Carolina do you cover?
The whole state. Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, Asheville, Wilmington, Fayetteville, Greenville, Concord, Gastonia, Hickory, Burlington, Rocky Mount, Jacksonville, Kannapolis, Mooresville and the counties around them.
Do you buy switchgear, breakers or transformers?
No. Our buying scope is wire and cable only. Transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, MCCs, generators, bus plugs, chillers, machinery and unrelated scrap are outside what we buy.
How do I know the email went through?
You will see a confirmation page after the form submits, and we reply to the phone number or email you provide. If you have not heard back, call +1 (614) 715-3047 and ask.
Can you handle a full truckload?
Yes. Send the reel count, approximate weight and the loading method at the site. If the load is large enough we will discuss freight and scheduling directly.
