It's been in the (scrap) business since before I was born... I know you can get a hand held wire stripper online for a couple hundred dollars. I'll see if I can find the name of the company and post it.

Posted: Thu Sep 13, 2012 9:50 pmIs it worth stripping the wire? The time and effort, etc? Would it be worth more to sell it as it is??

Posted: Tue Sep 25, 2012 4:38 pmWow that is one hellacious wire stripper.
Clean, bare copper wire ( no corrosion) is worth double here in Colorado. Or better. So if a guy has a quantitiy and this stripper is not too pricey, it certainly is worth considering. To do it manually is not profitable.

Last time I tried to buy insulated scrap wire, the price from the scrap yard was so high that I think I would have been losing money once I stripped the wire and threw away the insulation.

it is a hard place to be in the middle, you have to get them to see that they don't have to truck it and you have to have a higher paying place to sale it. I do compressors from my yard when I have time and make my labor.
