    Any idea where they are located, as I didn't see that on the site?

    I took a cat one time to a buyer here, but it definitely wasn't work the little bit of money I got for it. I was always told that they get good money, but I sure didnt.

    Maybe it was an Aftermarket?
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    That is possible. My father in law, owns a body shop in our town, and I got it from him.

    I always heard you got like $50 to $150, but when I took it in, I got like slightly under $20 for it.

    About 1 1/2 years ago, cops around here were running around like chickens with their heads cut off, because people be going to car dealerships, auto body repair, and just any car period and taking the cats off of them at night.

    Then when they put the word out to the scrapping companies, and started making a few arrests, people quit.

    What is the actual price for a cat converter, generally?

    Aftermarket cats will get around $7 to $10.

    In that case, I will refer it to the scrap yard, but for me personally, wouldn't be real worth it.
