What happens after you send it
We read the tags, check the constructions and come back with a price and the logistics questions: dock, forklift, hours, restrictions. If the lot is a fit, a pickup is scheduled. If it is not, we say so and tell you why.
Submissions and photos go to saleselectricalbuyers@gmail.com. If you would rather talk it through, call (614) 715-3047.

What we do not buy
Wire and cable only. Transformers, switchgear, breakers, motor control centers, generators, bus plugs, chillers, machinery, vehicles and general scrap are outside what we buy.
If a load is wire plus that equipment, describe the wire and we will quote the wire.
Photo tips that speed things up
- Stand back for one photo that shows the whole pile or rack
- Take one photo per reel tag, straight on and readable
- Photograph the jacket print where the size, voltage and ratings are listed
- Show any damage, crushed section or exposed conductor
- Include the loading area if access is unusual
Photos are attached to the email that reaches us. The form accepts multiple images up to 10 MB in total.
FAQ
Questions we get from sellers
Can I send photos by text instead?
Call the number first and ask. Email and the form are the reliable path because attachments stay with the submission.
What if I only have a rough idea of the quantity?
Send the rough idea. A reel count and a reel diameter often get close enough to start a conversation.
Will you sign an NDA?
For a surplus wire lot that is usually unnecessary, but tell us if your organization requires one and we will review it.
