    Cat Converters for bid

    Had 3 cat converters sitting around so I decided to throw a couple of listings on ebay.

    All 3 of the cats have honeycomb on both ends of the cats. Throw a few starter bids in there to get the ball rolling. LOL

    This is my first time selling cats on ebay so it will be a feeler for me. definitely better prices on ebay than scrap yards. Found one core buyer, but it is a little far to drive to get pricing.

    Hmm not sure why the cats sold for so little $50 each for one type, and $28 for the big ford cat. I can get that at the scrap yard and not have to deal with ebay. I think I have some learning to do on the value of different types of cats. Also my ebay points are only 33 (100% feedback though) so I have been thinking maybe that has something to do with people not bidding on items i see selling for a lot more than what I am getting.

    That's how it was when I first started Ebaying, I had to almost give stuff away before people would buy. Now I'm up to around 700 so there does not seem to be a problem

    There are many buyers who are willing to spend more for an item from a top rated seller. Being a top rated seller really helps with the exposure your listings get, plus you get cheaper fees/shipping.

    I listed the make (Ford) of the vehicle like you did in the title & I got a message from ebay saying if I do it again they will pull my auction off ebay. Ebay said it is against the rules to list what type of vehicle it came from since it is scrap.

    Mine clearly has the word FORD stamped on both sides of cat (visible in the pictures). Should be fine for this one. I have no idea what vehicle it came from. I garbage picked it.
