    Yes all copper wire is worth keeping and selling. Check out High Voltage's thread. http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/showt...e!!-Eastern-PA

    don't think I have enough to sell yet. I'll keep you in mind.
    Do buy certain lengths? What about damaged cables, short scraps? do I need to cut the ends off? how about IDE ribbon cables?
    Thanks

    As much as you can get is what I buy. Yes cut the ends off and I think they are worth something just not to me. Sell your ribbon cables to china. There is little to no copper in them.
