$19 on wheels is a great price. Around here, 13-14 is tops. I pay 11, but I always recommend that my sellers check around to see if they can do better. Most of them sell me the wheels anyway, as they appreciate the honesty. Plus, I'm much better on converters than anyone in my local area, simply because I grade them correctly and pay a fair price. Getting $80 for a cat that one of the "other guys" offered them $35 for is something they remember, and they spread the word.



We have a few "roving" core buyers who will pay 17-18 on wheels, but it's a smokescreen- They are absolutely HORRIBLE on converters, but that high price on wheels makes them look good on paper. Your core guy sounds like he's pretty good across the board. I went through several volume core buyers until I found a good one that I could trust. Now, I pay more for cats than the guy I used to SELL to will pay, and that's a great feeling
