There's something about that idea that just doesn't sit right with me. When it comes to copper, the cleaner you can get it, the better price you should be able to get. If I had to, I would find another yard to go to. I guess I just don't like a yard that tries to encourage me to accept lower prices for my copper wire.



Only you can decide for yourself whether or not to strip certain wires. There can be a lot of factors to the decision, I suppose. I don't strip down tinned copper, but that's my choice. For the most part, I will strip wire if it results in at least #2 copper prices. Depends on the PITA factor.
