platinum sparky?

Hey All,
Lucky with a question... i have been saving platinum sparkplugs for a cool minute,and don't even know where to attempt selling them, Is there a market for such an item? The scrap yards around here look at me like i am crzy,n say ,Yeah throw them in with your steel, that seemscrzy cause they have plat. in them, right? somebody let me know,
Thanx, Lucky Lucky's Recov. Ent. Okc.,Ok.

I haven't heard of any market for them

i read on some thread somebodies friend had a shop drawer full of them and said he was saving them for when they find a way to remove it

Those cash for gold stores are a rip-off. Hold on to them for a rainy day, or at least until you can find an outlet for them that will pay you a fair price.

I don't bother separating them. All plugs go into the shred bucket. Not worth it to me to waste space on something that maybe, someday it might be worth a few extra cents

thats what eveyone used to say about converters now look at them i say if u have the funds and time to hold on to them then do so you have nothing to lose.

I would send them a box of them just to see if you get more than shread steel price!

I've heard of guys who sit around watching TV while they cut the tips off the plugs. I'm not sure exactly where they cut though.

Its not just the tips. The core has some aswell. I bust them open and that thin blackish looking stem inside the ceramic has platinum aswell. However I have not found a buyer for the whole plug and the return is minimal at best.

Google is your friend. http://www.silversmetal.com/services.html

I've never used them - so this isn't an endorsement. They do say that they crush the plugs and extract the metals though. From what I can see, it's all spark plugs, not just the platinum ones they take.

If someone calls them up, let us know what they say, ok?

I sent them a mesage on thier web site. I'll let you all know what they say
