[High Voltage Processing]

As requested in my welcome thread, here is my current price list for copper wire. I have also included what the local scrap yards here are paying for comparison. All prices are per pound of course.

Type Scrap Yard High Voltage Processing

Romex, THHN: $1.57 $1.70



Extention/Phone/Misc $1.30 $1.40

Shiny Copper $3.50 $3.60

Again my number is 484-860-9454 and if you have over 100 pounds I will pick up for free.

I am in need of Romex and THHN wire badly. I will buy as much as you can at higher then board prices. Right now, I will pay $1.75 for Romex and $2 for THHN.

[Mechanic688]

I will pay $1.75 for Romex and $2 for THHN.

I know what Romex is but for us uneducated ones, what is THHN???

[easyrecycle]

Its a solid wire size being 12AWG used for building.

[Mechanic688]

That's what I call Romex,
Never mind, I'll WiKi it!

Thermoplastic High Heat-resistant Nylon (THHN)

That tells me the difference between that and regular old Romex,,, thanks

[High Voltage Processing]

Thank you for pointing that out. I have attached some images below. Basically, THHN is the wire that is inside the Romex outer shell coating. It is much easier for my machine to process so I will pay more for it then Romex. Also it will not have twine or paper coating thus making it easier to separate the copper from the plastic.

[ScrapperStoke]

I take it TELCO would include twisted pair patch cable?

[High Voltage Processing]

you are correct.

[cgraz1187]

Are the prices posted above current?

[sjones99]

i bet not

[MDJSalvage]

Hey,
High Voltage, I sent you a private message I'm not sure if you saw or not. Could you check it out and let me know what you can do for me? Thanks

[Dunemaul]

Jim could you update your price list. I need to check on logistics but i think i might start shipping my BB to you among other copper.

[hobo finds]

Are you still buying Cu wire? If so can we get some prices? Thanks!!

[mikeinreco]

If I remember correctly this company went bankrupt
