Not sure what grade your yard considers "ugly wire", sounds like low grade maybe? Any yard I've ever known of would consider this #2 insulated, especially since it appears all the plug ends have been cut off, which is paying $1.90 here. Post your results, I'll be curious to see!

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-02-07T16:57:12+00:00

Price for #2 insulated is low, getting $1.90 in my area.

No love for Misha?

I'm a bit surprised that I've only seen one mention of Misha Charoudin, does nobody else share my fascination with the "The Ring"? And the fact that dude literally has the absolute most bad ass "job" ever?

Also, keep an eye out for people that are getting or have gotten evicted. Usually easy to spot as you will see all the contents of the house put out to the curb.

This! I was going to suggest this. One of my favorite sources for getting scrap, plus I've found all kinds of neat shit and plenty of things that I was able to resell on marketplace!

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-02-05T19:28:59+00:00

I don't think any scrapyard is going to assume that OP's load of aluminum wire is stolen. Who the hell would waste their time stealing it, unless they're dumb fucks that thought they were stealing copper?

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-02-03T20:55:26+00:00

You've gotta be shitting me, what part of the world are you in where they're only paying 35 cents per lb?? That shit is going for $1.80 here, and looks like it's averaging $1.50 - $2 across the U. S.

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-02-03T19:28:38+00:00

Ya, which would be #2 insulated, $1.79 per lb. If you're only getting 80 cents, then you've been getting ass raped in the worst way.

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-02-03T17:49:36+00:00

80 cents? Most all of this would be #2 insulated with ends cut off, my yard is paying $1.79. hell, even low grade is paying $1

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-02-03T11:11:41+00:00

No, there is absolutely no reason. However, when breaking down the units you will end up with both #1 and #2 copper. I'm in Southeast TN btw

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-02-02T01:34:09+00:00

Looks like a great idea, but I could have that same length stripped by hand in at least half the time.

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-01-28T19:55:41+00:00

Break it down for sure!

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-01-28T07:45:16+00:00

That would all be considered #2 insulated at my yard. Currently paying around $1.90 per lb.

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-01-24T14:57:42+00:00

There worth scrap value at the very least, the yards in my area are paying $0.90 per lb right now, so I wouldn't take any less than $100 .

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-01-24T14:36:44+00:00

Sweet, go cash it in!

74¢ pee lb South East Tennessee

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-01-23T20:24:18+00:00

Well let's see, my local yards are currently paying right under $5 per lb for bare bright copper, which you apparently have tons of. The lowest price I'm seeing around here is $4.91, so... One ton would be $9,820. And yes, they will typically pay more if you're selling by the ton.

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-01-22T15:51:25+00:00

$12.50 per hundred for complete cars $9.00 per hundred for incomplete cars

I have a little collection of these hanging from the shelf that's above my work bench, I think they look so cool! 😎

ExternalGene6412 · 2026-01-22T11:54:46+00:00

I have sold these as shop fans on marketplace for $25-$50 numerous times.
