Phil - What kind of buyer is 550 pounds of surplus Ethernet cable sold to?

A NJ Scrapper is paying $1.15 a pound.

I paid 28 cents a pound maybe 27.

I ordered 33,000 cables of cat 5e spring of 2022.

Weight was 9300 pounds.

It's a decent profit say 2500 cost and about 10,000 paid.

Labor is a lot but I am retired. Each trip I get around 600 bucks.

What is the labor comprised of besides storing, loading and hauling it to the scrapper? Are you stripping the jacket off the cable or the insulation off the conductors?

well we built a greenhouse style building to store it. white tarp that blocks sun.

loading it into the building
loading it into my car
prepping it in my home. which is debagging the wire. placing 1000 feet in a black heavy duty bag putting it into my car

driving to the scrapper. which will be 18-20 trips.

if i were younger i would do 1000 pound loads in my partners pickup truck.

but at 68 years old i rather move 500-600 pound in 20-24 bags .

Nice! You sound like you enjoy piddling in stuff like that. Keeps you young!

I used a lot of 50Ω RG8, RG 217 coax and Heliax cable with copper center conductor with my Ham antennas (yep, that picture was my Ham radio station equipment! ), and had a lot I sold to a recycler when I moved from NC.

I've also cut the insulation off 4/0, 350MCM and 500MCM THHN and XHHW Cu wire and selling it.

I thought you didn't this stuff, if i remember correctly, i though this was beneath you.

Or did you also get cable selling idea from Sanford & Sons Salvage?
