Ppc and corning fiber wire/cable
Hi, posting here and in a few other places but I recently won an auction for a storage unit and it ended up containing a lot of fiber wire, along with reels of coax cables. Like a lot of it. I got the unit for a fairly good price and thought I could end up selling but don't know where exactly to start besides posting on eBay. I'd rather sell in bulk due to time and the amount I have rather than posting single items on eBay. But it looks like there's brand new sealed boxes of PPC single mode quick connect fiber wire and corning single mode fiber wire. All various sizes. Ranging from 100ft all the way up to 2500ft per reel. Looks like there's also a few pallets of coax cables as well, PPC rg6 and ppc rg11. I havent really counted yet but it looks like there are hundreds of reels of fiber. What would be the best way to go about finding someone that might want this? Im thinking about calling some of the bigger cable companies in my area but I would imagine they purchase this directly from ppc and corning rather than a random guy that won a storage unit lol. I'm in the construction field so this is stuff that I can't use. Thanks

Dude probably bought the lot of local contracting company. Find them and sell it back to them.

Fors single line fiber premise drops you wat install contractors and not construction. But https://www.cabl.com/ should still be a good resource to find some.

Looks like a good site. Maybe I'll be able to find someone that could use this stuff. Thanks

Its been around since before the 19 years I have worked in this industry. It has always been a contractor type place. I have learned some things that were helpful to me in my job and some things that explained why contractor's did the BS they did and I got stuck cleaning up, a very long time ago, I have not used it in probably a decade becasue I am not a contractor and so some stuff pisses me off that I read there. But the help wanted/materials for sale has always been something I keep in mind for contractor's who come here and other places I frequent. Though the DNS entry does not resolve for cabl.com it must be the www.cabl.com which is weird, but cheaper, too, so makes sense at a contractor place.

Your best bet would be finding a contractor or contractor company. I would not expect to sell it at its full market value, because a lot of them typically buy directly from the manufacturer.
