Nice guy gave me a cat today

its garbage day again....

and while delightfully throwing two big mufflers & pipes into the back of my truck, the home owner walks up and says "here ya go! this will get you a little more $ then those mufflers!"



guy hands me a 13lb catalytic converter... "whoa, thanks!!!"

now, i've never come across a cat that wasn't torn apart before... i know there is 1-2oz of platinum in them.... but i'm not going to try to get it out myself.... so i'm wondering... do scrapyards usually take them whole and pay a price per lb like other commodities? if so, how much do they usually pay out around?

or should i sell it on ebay? looks like they go for A LOT there....

what do y'all think?

as Mick said, post two or three good pictures of it and maybe we can help you out.

Looks like you got a great score! Large AC GM, in my area they are between $100 - $110.

Ya thats a large GM I am getting $125 for mine in SE MN. NICE JOB!!!

yeah hopefully its not an aftermarket. i got a 82 ford fl50, took the caddy off and brought it back to find out it was an aftermarket, and got a WHOPPING $3.

Thats a Large Gm Worth $142 what i get.if you dont find a buyer let me know and i wil buy it from you.But u wil have to ship it and have paypal thx!

thanks guys...

i had bills due 2 days later so that got me greedy and i took the $65 cash the scrapyard i always go to pays. time wasn't on my side for this one.

next time i get ahold of one, i will come here to find a buyer first.
