The selling process for Clemson sellers
Describe the inventory
A short list or a photograph of the rack is enough to start. Tell us the wire types, rough quantities and where it is stored.
Photographs do the pricing
Four images per item — tag, jacket print, cut end, overview — usually replace a site visit entirely.
Review the evaluation
We return a line-item number with the items we are buying and the items we are passing on, and you decide what to sell.
Collection and payment
Collection is scheduled across the Upstate and combined with nearby stops when a lot is small, which keeps freight practical. We pay on collection, by the method agreed before the truck is booked.
Local note for Clemson sellers
Clemson is dominated by the university, so institutional renovation produces building wire, data cable, fire alarm cable and laboratory-grade control cable. If your material has been stored outdoors, photograph the reel ends before moving anything; that is where UV and moisture damage show first.
