I believe it is not useful or good use of time to strip insulation off copper wire unless it is #1 or #2 copper. If copper stays bent when bent, strip it (I burn it), if not, sell it as insulated copper. I get about 1.10/lb for insulated copper
after work, or when i cant sleep, i sit in front of the tv stripping wire, i strip all the copper wire i can find. it has started really getting to my hands after these last few years.i recently purchased a drill operated wire stripper on ebay. after some trial and error,i now strip 10x the amount of wire i was doing a few months ago. it just took a little time to get the hang of only cutting the insulation.i would recommend one of these to anyone!! i still hand strip all of the small copper wire i find.i guess it depends on how much wire you come across and how much time you want to spend stripping it. i feel like it is worth my time... i have more time than money.
Not a bad price for that.Quote:

Uhhm. Romex, solid, braided, etc.
I only strip degaussing cables...power cords go in one bucket, mixed small wires in a garbage can (basically anything thats not a power cord...) and the cables from monitors into another, after the gold end is clipped off. I've only cashed in power cords once because I was hard up for cash, my garbage can of wires weighs around 25-30 pounds right now. I don't know what current price is, and i've never cashed in mixed wires...
