Bare copper wire buyers in Texas
The simplest cable in the yard to value and the one most often sold by weight before anyone checks whether the lengths are usable.

Send the printed legend, conductor material and size, voltage class and the footage on the reel tag. If the tag is gone, say so — photographs of the jacket print usually resolve it.

01
Bare copper wire we review
What this family covers and what identifies it.
Bare copper is soft-drawn or hard-drawn copper without insulation, used for grounding, bonding, overhead laterals and grounding grids. Sizes run from 14 AWG to 500 kcmil, solid and stranded.
Texas surplus comes from grounding system upgrades, substation work and industrial bonding, usually as coils and short lengths rather than factory reels.

Specification checklist
The facts that decide how a lot is evaluated.
- TemperSoft-drawn for grounding and bonding; hard-drawn for overhead and aerial runs.
- Sizes14 AWG through 500 kcmil, solid and stranded.
- FormsCoils, spools and cut lengths; bare or tinned.
Send what the reel says. A printed legend and a reel tag are stronger evidence than a description written from memory. If a detail is unknown, mark it unknown rather than guessing.
03
Constructions we buy
Reviewed separately, because they are valued separately.
Tinned and hard-drawn lots
Tinned conductor from marine and substation work, and hard-drawn from overhead runs.
04
How a lot is evaluated
Construction, condition, documentation, quantity and logistics.
Send the size, temper, strand count and total weight or length. Bare copper is the one family where weight is a legitimate primary measure, because there is no insulation to preserve.
Lengths still matter. A 60-foot coil of 4/0 bare copper sells to a contractor as grounding conductor, while the same weight in two-foot offcuts is weighed.
Safety first. Never cut, strip, disconnect or move energised cable to prepare a sale. De-energising and proving dead is work for qualified personnel under the site's electrical safety programme.

Bare copper wire questions
Answered for sellers, not for search engines.
Is bare copper sold by weight?
Priced against copper, yes, with a premium where lengths are usable and identified.
Does tinning change the value?
It is noted in the review. Tinned conductor serves marine and corrosive environments but is priced with the coating considered.
Can you take mixed bare and insulated copper?
Yes, kept separate. Mixed lots are sorted before valuation.
