Preparing a cable manifest

Six columns on one page will get a large lot quoted faster than forty photographs and a paragraph of description.

The six columns

Reel or coil number, construction as printed, conductor metal and size, footage (with the method used), condition, and where it sits. That is the whole manifest. Everything else is commentary.

One line per reel

Do not group reels of different constructions on one line to save space. A grouped line forces the buyer to re-ask, which is the delay the manifest exists to prevent.

Condition codes that mean something

Use plain language: new surplus, never installed; partial, tagged; partial, measured; weathered jacket; cut ends unsealed; recovered from service. Those six phrases cover almost every real condition and each one prices differently.

Attach the photographs to the manifest

Number the photographs to match the manifest lines. A buyer can then check a specific reel instead of scrolling a gallery, and disputes at loading drop sharply.

Questions on this topic

Short answers to the details sellers ask about most.

Is a spreadsheet acceptable?
Yes. CSV or a photographed handwritten sheet both work, provided one row is one reel and the columns are consistent.
How detailed should condition notes be?
One honest phrase per reel. 'Cut ends sealed, jacket dirty, tag intact' is more useful than a paragraph.
Do you quote from a manifest alone?
For an indicative offer, often yes. The final number is confirmed when the reels are loaded and the footage verified.
