    My yard refers to bare bright as at least 12 gauge (thicker than a pencil lead), multi-stranded and free of insulation, tarnish and any other contaminates. Basically this is MCM wire that has been stripped. Try referring to it as bare bright when you bring it in, so the yard knows that you know what you have. If they don't give you a different price from #1 copper (about $0.10 more) than take it somewhere that will...like my yard! I'll pay you $3.41 a pound for it today!
