Selling situations
Selling wire when a contracting business closes
Closing a business means emptying a shop on a deadline. Wire is usually the heaviest thing left and the hardest to move quickly, because it is bulky, mixed and only partly documented.
The goal in that situation is a single transaction that clears the space, not the last dollar per reel. That is a normal way to sell, and it is worth saying so up front.
Gather the obvious first
Pull every reel and coil into one area. Separate full reels with tags from partial reels and loose coils. Photograph the whole pile, then the tags. An inventory is helpful but not required; a wide photograph of a shop floor is often enough to start.
Decide the scope
Some sellers want the wire gone and nothing else touched. Others want hand tools, fittings and panel stock included. We buy wire and cable only, so be clear about where the boundary is before the visit.
Schedule around the lease
If the space has to be empty by a date, say the date on the form. Pickup can usually be arranged within a week for a normal lot, and sooner for smaller ones.
