Just yesterday he told me "The market took a crash" that the new price went down $10 per $100 on value of that cat. for example: a cat that was worth $50 is now only worth $45, a cat that was worth $100 is now worth $90, a cat worth $200 is now worth $180, a cat worth $500 is now worth $450, a cat worth $1000 is now worth $900. So basically he dropped my price by 10% on all cats. Part of me thinks it is some type of tactic to drop my price because he thinks he has me reeled in. Should I reach out to some of my old buyers/look for new ones, or is he telling the truth? From what I've seen the price of the precious metals has continued to climb.


    Palladium dropped $73 on Friday; Platinum and Rhodium dropped as well. 10% reduction is a little much.

    Just send pictures for quotes.

    Fast, honest, knowledgeable, and THE HIGHEST PRICES.
    We can hedge and toll refine for larger converter lots.

    Sounds like you work for Metallix.

    Ask Metallix for your 2000 lb lot’s Palladium, Platinum, and Rhodium back after they “toll refine” your lot. See what happens.

    We all are middleman in one way or another, including Metallix.
