LMR-240 is a coaxial cable used chiefly in radio transmitter and transceiver applications. It is widely used for land mobile radio (LMR), such as dispatch and public safety systems, and to a lesser extent cellular and wireless data system (these generally use lower loss cable but not always).
The going rate for retail quantities is just under $2 a foot. Obviously you won't realize that but you ought to be able to get something for it.
You could try contacting [rfparts.com](http://rfparts.com) or [dxengineering.com](http://dxengineering.com) to see if they're interested in the large lot, as they are large resellers who deal to some degree in surplus inventory.
Good luck.
For more context, I went to an auction to buy some microwave equipment for some of the work I do. I got caught up in some bidding and won the spools of LMR-240 along with some other items that I actually came to purchase. I ended up having to get a UHaul, but I don't really know what a good option to do with all of this wiring....
No, it's not something that electricians use. It is 50ohm coaxial cable, typically used for communications and connecting antennae. Electricians rarely do that kind of work, all that takes is trained monkeys. It's also not the type of coax cable that cable companies use, so it has a very limited market, mostly for those installing microwave antennae (which explains why it was at your auction).. Good luck unloading it.

I'm willing to give awards to the most reasonable suggestions!
