What are you using to strip it?

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.

my LSY will sale wire to me if I want it, would be nice to strip and resale.

Is it worth stripping the wire? The time and effort, etc? Would it be worth more to sell it as it is??

Wow 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.
