Looking to sell cats

I have been collecting cats for a couple years and am up to around 50-75. I'm curious how everyone sells their converters

I can give you a free quote on buying your scrap catalytic converters, that's what we specialize in.

How do I go about getting the quote. This is my first rodeo with converters. I have been gathering them but now need to unload them.

724-719-5195. Call or text me. Thank you.

Call or text me with the number I provided. I think you can PM me if you have 10 posts or more also but my phone number is the best way.

Ok I will text you some in the next few days. Some are still on the vehicles.

You can text me anytime to talk.

question for APA, is there like some sort of picture chart or something that someone inexperienced in Cats like myself could look at and be able to determine what type of cat they have? I know theres a few different kinds and I can mostly tell which are aftermarket but as far as determining which specific type of cat I have I really have no clue. I know most of the buyers know which is which and they could look at one and tell me its this or that but unless I know myself what I'm holding I'm pretty much just putting all my faith into the buyer not ripping me off, and Im sure the majority of the people who don't deal much with cats feel the same way.

This was just a price list I found online..........I didn't include the company because I do not know who they are........would be great to have something like this with pictures included

yeah thats what I'm saying. some of the ones I get I have no idea what they came off of. unless I get lucky enough to find the part number still on it I would have no idea which grade of cat I have without pictures.

I will start start off with this. A major competitor of mine in Pennsylvania is a convicted felon. He has charges related to stolen property. Second, a list means nothing if you (seller) have no idea what converter goes into what catagory chosen by the buyer. "Codes" sometimes help the price, sometimes hurt the price. I bought some converters today by "code" they were worth $18, I was able to pay my customer $50 each. I work all the angles to give my customers the best possible price outcome.

How do I know Ewasted doesn't rip me off? I went there once and was happy, most people agree. We really don't concentrate on computer related items so we put our faith in them for example.

Remember also, it's not just folks selling cats that risk being burned.

A lot of us here do focus on ewaste. An it's quite valuable when you start dealing with certain items, so the risky is pretty high to get burned. I'm sure the majority of us have a horror story in regards to a buyer. An I KNOW the buyers got some good ones in regards to sellers. Whether it's shipping to a buyer here for processing an payment, or the folks here who use ebay an ship items to buyers from there...we're all at risk.

My point is...try not to worry about getting ripped off. LOL. Easier to say then do I know. You will experience much less stress once you find a good buyer who you want to deal with on a regular basis. With ewaste, I can rely on my fellow SMF members in regards to buyers. Folks like yourself who deal with things like cats(do you buy an sell dogs to? HA! Took me half the post to make a cat joke, your welcome dear reader.)or other such items got it a bit tougher in regards to reviews on buyers for your material. Find someone on here, an you likely can't go wrong. If there is a cat buyer here...I'm not really sure anymore.

You can also ship via pallet(I imagine you will, so ignore this if so) an can make use of folks like @Gorven who can help you get your pallets where they need to go. So at lest you can trust the transportation.

I wish I only shipped out cats. I still get nervous whenever I send something out to be toll refined. I get even worse when I'm waiting on that gold, silver, etc to come back to. Haha.

Good luck to you though, perhaps someone who deals in Cats will chime in. An be sure to look for reviews online for any seller you decide to use outside of the forum. It could save you a lot of trouble, time, an money.

I appreciate the the kind words. Thank you.

I have dealt with APA on a few occasions selling CATS to him and found him to be very reputable. Also have did some freight shipments for him and never any problems regarding payment.
