Copper as a commodity is currently worth under $5/pound: https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/copper

It's probably worth even less if you have to resell wire to recycling businesses of the "no questions about where you got it" variety. Are these wire rolls large enough to contain a thousand pounds of copper?

Not sure but the price tag of each roll was about $1,500. So I think it was a 1000ft spool.
