The selling process for Union 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
Pickup is arranged across the Upstate, with freight coordinated so you are not asked to move reels you cannot handle safely. We pay on collection, by the method agreed before the truck is booked.
Local note for Union sellers

If your material has been stored outdoors, photograph the reel ends before moving anything; that is where UV and moisture damage show first.
