    Scrap comms wire

    Alooooooooha!!! From the Pacific. Just got a deal on these spools of brand-new comms wire. It's all multi strand shielded wire with multiple pairs. 2 1k foot rolls and 2 500 footers. I know every state is different but in your area what would they pay on average for something like this. BTW I purchased all the rolls for 50$ total.


    Edit. I don't know how to upload pictures yet but the size of the wire is 22awg and 20. All of the spools are multi strand 2 of them have approx 16 pair

    Without really knowing what you have, it's hard to say. Some yards have seperate prices for Telco wire, Telco jelly small and Telco jelly large.

    Did a little research at AWCwire.com, 16 pair 20 gauge is 248 pounds per 1000 feet. If this is not jelly wire, I would say at least 60 cents a pound and maybe higher. Look your stuff up and get some wieghts per foot.

    Also check to see if you can possible sell it as good wire. I suggest you do some research on ebay. From Hawaii the flat rate boxes may still work.
