    what to do with my cat?

    Hey all I have a company that sells bmw parts. I buy the cars strip everything off and sell parts. Now I need help on what should I do with the cat?

    they give me 150$ per cats at my local scrap yard



    here are my questions ;

    - should I remove the honeycomb and fill 55g drums with it ? if so do i break them in small pieces or just stock one big block of honeycomb for each cats
    - should I keep selling them the the local scrap yard?
    - also I read that if i do break them in pieces I need 2000 lbs + to be able to cut the middleman. any idea how many cats this represent?

    I am in no rush to see my money back on those cars as my profit is in the engines interiors etc. the cats and the frame are just bonus and doesn't affect my cashflow negatively.
    I dismantle 3 cars a week for now, going to try and up this number!
    storing space isn't an issue I can keep drums or i can pile the cats.

    basically just trying to maximize my profits and would like input by some people more knowledgeable then me. also what is a good price for honeycomb by the lbs? my scrap yard told me 7,5$ but i feel since my cats are high quality one it should be more?

    thanks for any help!
