    oxygen sensors

    Oxygen sensors will bring a priemium as scrap. Or you can resell them for about 5 times scrap value. I clean the tip of the sensor on a wire wheel to remove the buildup and put them up on ebay at $10 each, they dont stay in stock very long.

    I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
    I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE

    I dont buy them but alot of places that buy catalytic converters do. They want the wires cut off.

    If you came across any gm / chevy sensors intact with wiring and connector i might be interested at much higher than scrap. I am specifically looking for blazer and s10 sensors.

    I've been saving mine for quite a while. The good ones I can sell for $10-15 each, and I get $4/lb on the scrap ones. The stubborn ones that strip or don't want to come out get left in the cats, but I'm able to recover 90%+ of them without much trouble.

    Just bought a ford ranger today and the ones on it are bad. And have to replace eventually. How big are they only 4 dollars a pound how many does that take?

    Lots. All O2 sensors are different and weigh different. But for the most part on average the sensor itself is slightly larger than your thumb with 4 wires coming off it.
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    It takes about 7 or 8 sensors to make a pound with the wires cut off.
