How 1000 MCM is priced

Large conductor is priced against current wire pricing, not scrap. Copper 1000 MCM generally carries a wider premium over metal value than aluminum, because more projects specify copper at this size and the resale market is deeper. Sealed reels with legible print command the strongest offers; partial reels are priced on estimated footage.

If the print is gone or the jacket is damaged, the material is priced as conductor. That is still a legitimate sale, but it is usually worth checking the print first.

Frequently asked questions

Do you buy 1000 MCM wire in partial reels?

Yes. A partial 1000 MCM reel still has substantial value because the size is expensive per foot. Send the tag or a side photo and we will estimate footage.

Is copper 1000 MCM worth more than aluminum?

Yes, per foot. Copper 1000 MCM is rated at about 545 A at 75°C versus roughly 445 A for aluminum, and it is specified more often for feeders and service work, so resale demand is stronger.

Can you pick up large reels?

Yes. We plan for weight and access, and we can bring a flatbed with a forklift or coordinate with your dock equipment.
