I've never tore them down and tested I just go by what yards actually pay per unit, and I've heard of platinum being extracted before.

I may look in to the process of Palladium extraction. I still have everything from my PCB gold extraction..

I just go by what actual yard are paying here. I basically monitor five yards. They all just give a unit price and don't care about type. I can get OE cats off old cars all day long I would love to get paid $200.00 each...
