    I never never said to take a reading threw the shell.

    European countries PGM loadings are different than loadings in the US cars.

    Yes I can guess guess what is catalyst is worth as well. I have mixed catalyst averages too. My point is I am trying to answer the OP’s question of what he can do to get paid for his material.

    The information Catalysts posted above is good advice at least the buyer is able to determine the value plus or minus a few PPM of the combs value which is much better than receiving $4.00 a pound.

    If you google scrap catalysts you will find who I work for. Basically all I know is that in the UK it's very rare people remap the catalytic converters, but the diesel particulate filter remaps are quite common. I said about an XRF gun because Citroen / Peugeot DPF are completely worthless, BMW DPF material can be ok, but the other german stuff like Mercedes, VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat etc can be really good. We use the gun to determine what is good DPF and what is junk tungsten carbide catalyst. We are currently having our database updated but if it helps you guys out any I can give you free access once it's complete... We have over 5,000 unique part numbers with accurate prices based on the current precious metal market. I'm not too sure how it works for the American market but in Europe we buy by each part number. I've made a paid for advertisement but 2 days later it's not appeared... Will be advertising for ceramic material very shortly so would be interested in anyone who produces bulk (500kg +) amounts of ceramic. Hope this helps / looking forward to dealing with you guys in the future!

    Sometimes I need a translator to decipher your posts, you tend to not post a lot of useful information but enough to keep your presence alive.

    Duh silly me.

    For the record, I recognise our newest member Catalysts from the UK as having expert qualifications, also I appreciate his willingness in giving us full disclosure.

    APA do you agree with the value per kg that our new member gave us on the VW cats.

    Were getting closer to the truth in that a buyer has absolutely no knowledge of what the value of any given catalytic converter is without having an assay done. It's all a guessing game otherwise.

    Your comment about Mettalix, you said that they have no knowledge on individual cats, this was a lame attempt to discredit me.

    Fact: Mettalix doesn’t supply anyone with an accurate code list. I know this first hand by one of their salesman face to face.

    Fact: Many employees from Metallix have left because of poor business practices.

    Fact: Mettalix broke their contract with my company by sending payment after the contracted 45 days.

    Fact: Mettalix sent me a wrong batch assay and later sent me a different one after much discussion.

    Fact: The salesman broke many verbal promises to me face to face.

    You were promoting and marketing Mettalix so I am entitled to say a rebuttal.

    Your rebuttal is worthless without paperwork to back it up.

    Name the people you have dealt with at Metallix.

    Lets start with your paperwork on dusty roads and air filters.

    If I gave names, what would it matter if I “didn’t have paperwork”?

    So all of what you say is correct with no proof and what I say is automatically wrong?

    My presence is alive and well by the way.
