I don't actually strip all the wire completely, when I said strip I was talking about taking off an end to see what was actually on the inside for shielding, wire type, etc.
I have since found a place from this post, someone sent me a direct message, they are about 10 minutes from my office and had decent prices from my POV based on seeing other stuff posted on here.
Interesting reading on here for ideas of what I can get here and there to add to what I can scrap, just need to find a way to do it without too much build up because the other half doesn't want the yard looking like a scrap yard... and I have no garage.
If you get enough stuff, and have time, a small storage locker is not that expensive, and a place you can keep the stuff while waiting to strip it down. Probably about $50/m or so you can find a storage unit, which, if you really do have a pretty steady steam of stuff, will pay for itself in no time....
as far as prices, you can see what prices you can get on here by going to

the wire is one of the least valuable parts of the IT equipment (dont get me wrong, it adds up over time and is worth snipping out, I def do) ...but the motherboards, ram, cpus, fingercards, etc is where all the real money is at. the rest is just cheap crap to get rid of locally that is a by-product of getting to the good stuff. at least thats how i look at it
