I want to turn you on to a great money making opportunity!!!!!!
 
LOL its not spam.

I never knew this but I know now. It might be common knowledge and I'm just catching on but whatever. Sell your catalytic converters on ebay. Go to junkyards, get cats, sell on ebay. They go for like $100 each. Crazy ----.

I bet some podunk junkyards either a) are too lazy to cut the cats off or 2) just don't know any better. If you can get 'em for like $10 each, get 50 of them and make 5g's easy.

I just put 2 cats up on ebay a couple hours ago and they're upto over $100 together already.

there is a place here that pays $125 each cash, no paperwork.


oddly enough, the crime rate for stolen SUV cats are on the rise in the twin cities.

most american made ones are expensive. they have all sorts of precious metals in them. the jap ones aren't worth much of anything.

Lets go to the junkyard with a saw and a jack. Just chunk them over the fence.

It's actually the exact opposite. Large foreign ones bring the most $$$ (they have the most platinum). They will have bolt flanges on both ends. I worked at a scrap yard the past two summers.

They came to the local post office with an electric sawzall and cut off all the cats from the postal vehicles.

oem are $$$$$, hi-flow = $.

copper is $3/lb around here, tin is $9/100lbs.

a 2000lb car will get you $270

I was working at a construction site where some people came in at night and gutted most of the runs of electric wire out of 25 houses.

Re: I want to turn you on to a great money making opportunity!!!!!!
 
so if the junkyards are supposed to pull them. can you get the cats out of the yard without stealing them?

Re: I want to turn you on to a great money making opportunity!!!!!!

my fiance's stepdad has a good friend that has been selling them for years at 30-50 for chevy and ford cats and only 10-20 for any jap ones. i guess its a perk of owning a junkyard that isn't a upull. its not only platinum that they take from them.

Re: I want to turn you on to a great money making opportunity!!!!!!
 
Then he's been getting had. Small domestics ~$15 Large domestics ~$25 Small Foreign ~$40 Large Foreign ~$90

We got at least double those prices when we sold them.

Re: I want to turn you on to a great money making opportunity!!!!!!
 
i've heard that they're only worth $$ if you can't stick a pipe/rod through them, if they are old enough the precious metals could be burnt out.

I know a guy that melts gold out of old computers, and makes sweet cash doing it too.
