Lot details
Everything helps, but the wire type, the quantity and the pickup city are enough to start.
Contractor shelves and dead job numbers
An electrical contractor keeps a shelf of material bought for jobs that did not consume it: a reel of 4/0 for a service that changed, three coils of MC from a corridor that was value-engineered, a box of SOOW that was opened for one cord repair. None of it is unusual and all of it is sellable if it can be identified.
The shelf is usually the last thing a contractor audits, which is why the tags are often gone and the lengths are often unknown. That is a solvable problem: the print identifies the construction, and a scale or a measured pull identifies the length.
Light manufacturing on the northern arc
The industrial parks along Polaris and Schrock Road hold assembly, packaging and food-adjacent operations. Their cable comes from machine moves, panel upgrades and the annual maintenance shutdown, and it tends to be tray, control and cord rather than large feeder.
Those plants also hold a surprising amount of portable cord. Extension cord, welding lead and temporary power cable are bought in bulk, used hard, and retired in coils that still have most of their length.

Loading and access
Westerville is easier than most of the state. The warehouses are modern, the docks are at trailer height, and the trailer courts are large enough for a 53-foot unit to turn without a spotter.
The complication is usually the corporate campus rather than the industrial park. A campus building may have a single service door, a lift with a weight limit and a security desk that needs a name before the truck is allowed through.
What to send
A list with construction, size and length for each item, plus a note on whether the material has been stored indoors. Westerville stock is usually racked and dry, which is worth saying because it separates the lot from the same material stored in an open yard.
If the whole shelf is being cleared, say that too. A complete shelf reviewed as one lot is simpler than ten small submissions, and the desk can price the group while telling you which items carry the value.

Questions sellers ask
Can a contractor sell material bought for a job that was cancelled?
Yes, and it is one of the cleanest categories to review. The material is unused, usually still wrapped, and often has the purchase documentation. Say which job it was bought for and whether the supplier will still take it back.
Do you take open boxes of portable cord?
Open boxes are reviewed if the remaining length can be estimated. Cord is usually sold by the foot from a reel, so a partly used box is normal stock rather than a problem.
How much material makes a pickup worthwhile?
Enough to fill a pallet with identifiable cable, or a single heavy item such as a full reel of large feeder. Below that, freight tends to consume the value and the desk will say so.
Does indoor storage change the value?
It changes the condition assessment, which changes the review. Cable kept dry and racked avoids the UV and water damage that open storage causes, and that is reflected in how a lot is treated.
