- Is this worth it?

So I did my research on several of the posts on catalytic converters. I have a 2003 toyota camry converter and the guy offered me 25 if the inside is square and 15 if it is circular inside. I don't know much about car parts, but some of the sites that mechanic posted in previous posts the price is about $65 for them. Should I sell it to this guy for this much or keep looking. Here is a pic.

Toyota cats are graded by the OEM number on them. If you can find the number on it, I can tell you what it should be worth. Most likely, it's either a Richman or Toyota Small grade, which would put it in the $65-75 range.

id have to agree with sparrow..around my area that would go for at least 60 to 75 dollars..possibly more once the old feller i sell to looks at the numbers on it...sounds like you buyer is maybe a middle man thats a bit low on the totem pole..id look around a bit

That number should be a Richman grade, right around $70-75. Toyota cats have some weird grades with odd names- Poorman, Richman, Special Richman, Special Camry and Toyota Fat are a few. Some of the grades are only a few bucks apart, and the number is what decides the grade. A "Camry" grade cat can come from any type of Toyota (or Lexus) vehicle, not necessarily just a Camry. A cat that looks like a pre can be a Toyota Medium grade, which pays pretty close to a Large Import price. Unfortunately, it is very common for less honest cat buyers to intentionally mis-grade Toyota converters, simply because they know they can usually get away with itHyundai cats are graded the same way, all by number.
