Hi guys, I work at an electrical cabinet fab shop. We generate gaylords full of scrap insulated wires, anywhere from thin 20 gauge to 1.0 gauge, it is just a mix of all of these. At what price would it be worth buying this wire to strip? I have an electric copper wire stripper. I have found that really, only 14 gauge and larger is worth stripping, so my plan would be to buy all the wire since it doesn't get sorted, strip the good stuff for No 1 copper, then the rest that is insulated I can sell for insulated price.

Any thoughts? Has anyone bought insulated copper wire to strip and know the price you should be asking? Should I just buy for the current insulted price in my area?



Thanks
