    cat converters as scrap

    What should I expect to get for an oem 325i cat when I bring it to the scrap yard?

    I'm hearing these things can be like gold, Jerry, gold!

          Be careful if you try to sell them on Ebay. They recently changed the rules and you are not allowed to mention the type of car they came from anymore.


          PM me, I can give you the name of a guy in WA who buys them for good $$$, it's definitely worth the shipping cost to send them to him.

          Whatever you do, do NOT just take them to the closest scrap place and take what they offer you- OEM BMW cats are worth really good money for sure. Aftermarket cats, not so much.....

              So much so that my local dealer just got hit by someone with a battery powered sawzal. They hit 25 toyotas before moving 100 yards down the road to chevy shop.

              Got 15 there according to local news. Big money in scrap metal these days.

                      You continue to show your ignorance in more ways than I ever thought possible.

                          Correct.

                              yeah, and before you knew me you were dropping them in the dumpster at Wayzata Amoco and thinking you really pulled a fast one on them.
