Guys is it TRUE catalytic converter's are going between 100 and 110 each? If so i've got 4 junk car's I can scrap those off of besides take the cars to the yard as well? It would be a cool 600+800 if I could do this when prices go up on automobiles.

Converters usually depend on the vehicle. Some converters are worth as little as $5 and some go over $300 each depending on if there aftermarket, domestic, high grade, import, full, half full, 1/4 full, etc... as well as market conditions that day. Usually the best way is to take a picture of the converter once removed and email it to a few core buyers for a quote or bring the converter to a local core buyer if you have one close by (some scrap yards buy them but they usually pay less). There's also the eBay route like I use and eBay can sometimes bring in more then your original offers where, had that happen on the last 10 converters I sold.


But like I said usually best to get several offers from different buyers before making a decision. You can find some core buyers here on the forum, and by using google. If you use google its best to run each companies name through the search for reviews, etc...


But keep in mind some core buyers wont buy off the public unless you have a valid business license so sometimes eBay is the best route.


If you go the eBay route you have to list them as scrap metal only as to be in compliance with eBay and the EPA requirements, and you can't list the year, make, or model they came off of either to comply with eBay policy.


A sample title for ebay would be: scrap catalytic converter for precious metal recovery only.


Thats the same title most sellers use, some also list for platinum, palladium, and rhodium recovery. Each converter is usually best in seperate auctions to get the most out of them, but not in all cases. For an example recently I made more off two converters from a 1998 GMC Jimmy by listing both together and walked away with over $200 after shipping, same thing with a suburban, and a hyundai accent recently. So it all depends.


Bead converters are usually best sold to local core buyer or to a scrap yard since there so hard to determine if there full or not.

Thank You so much for an IDEA about converter's here is the one's i have...Original GMC's that came on each vehicle.

1979 Monte Carlo
1984 Oldsmobile 88
1991 Caprice
1995 Surburban

BIG TIME CHEVY FAMILY HERE ROFL

The suburban converters are usually worth the most off that list since most from 1995 and up ran 2 square AC GM's but I have also found large GM's on some. The Olds 88 I never really have much luck with since most ran a AC 4 dot from the late 80`s to 90`s, and the other two I never got in for scrap yet so I cant say much about there converters.
