With about 3,388 residents, Pickens is a city in Pickens County, part of the Upstate.

The selling process for Pickens sellers

  1. Send photographs and basic details

    Reel tags, jacket print, cut ends and an overview of the inventory. Approximate footage and spool count if you know them.

  2. We evaluate and identify

    Construction, conductor material, voltage class and condition. Where documentation is missing we may ask for measurements or an inspection.

  3. You get a line-item offer

    Each item is listed with what we are purchasing and what we are leaving. No obligation to accept.

  4. Pickup and payment

    Collection is scheduled across the Upstate and combined with nearby stops when a lot is small, which keeps freight practical. Payment is made on pickup by the method agreed in advance.
