THHN is the most common wire in the state and the easiest to sell, provided the print is legible and the spool still holds usable footage. We buy THHN in every color and every size.
Thermoplastic High Heat-resistant Nylon-coated wire is the default branch-circuit and feeder conductor for commercial construction. It is rated 600 volts, 90 degrees C dry and 75 degrees C wet, and it is almost always dual-rated THHN/THWN-2 so it can be used in wet locations. Georgia contractors buy it by the pallet and rarely use every foot.
Surplus THHN usually looks like this: a 500 foot spool with 200 feet left, a pallet of mixed colors from a retail build-out, or factory-sealed 1,000 foot reels that were ordered and never installed. Sealed, labeled reels in standard colors are the strongest product; partial spools are priced on estimated footage.
| Construction | Stranded or solid copper, PVC insulation with nylon jacket |
|---|---|
| Voltage rating | 600V |
| Temperature | 90 degrees C dry, 75 degrees C wet (THHN/THWN-2 dual rating) |
| Size range | 14 AWG through 1000 kcmil |
| Standard | UL 83, NEC Article 310; gasoline and oil resistant II when marked |
Color matters for resale. Black, white and green move fastest; specialty colors move too, but at a narrower margin. Print matters more: if the size, type and voltage can be read on the jacket, the wire can be sold as wire instead of scrap.
The number you get reflects three things: whether the construction is still in use, how much footage remains, and whether the jacket and print are intact. Everything else is secondary.
Every commercial build-out in Atlanta, Savannah, Columbus and Augusta produces THHN leftovers. Electrical distributors writing down obsolete SKUs, and contractors clearing shop stock at the end of a project cycle, are the two largest sources we see.
We reply with a range for full reels, partial spools and mixed lots, anywhere in Georgia.
We do, throughout Georgia. Job-closeout lots are our most common purchase: mixed colors, partial spools, opened boxes and a few sealed reels that were never installed. Send one photo of the pile and a rough count and we can usually give a range the same day.
No, but original reels with tags are worth more. Loose coils and hand-wound spools are still purchased, usually at a lower price because footage has to be verified and the wire can be kinked.
Yes, but it is priced differently. Without legible print the wire can no longer be documented as a listed construction, so it is evaluated on conductor size, insulation condition and copper content rather than on brand-new wire value.
We buy statewide. A few of the markets where this category comes up most:

Send the details below and include photos of your spools, reels and labels. Photos are what let us identify the construction, estimate footage, and give you a real number instead of a guess.
