    Value of this catalytic converter?

    This cat is suppose to be off a 1990 Ford F-350 pickup. Could someone give me a minimum value for it. I will probably put it on ebay. Thanks.

    I would buy it as a medium domestic. You should be able to get $65-$70.

    Jaxguy28, a lot of stuff gets sold on ebay for scrap.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Yes, I have used them once and Im using them a second time once I get a quote from them.

    They provide free shipping which is really nice. Its actually something like $20 per cat but, seems to cover the cost. The first time I used them though, I did make a mistake. I had sent in what I thought were cats but, were actually something called resonators. They look just like cats but, they dont have honeycomb look when you look inside of them. So in the end I didnt get paid but, it also didnt cost me anything either. Im willing to try them again, they seemed to have good customer service.

    They also have a price catalog that you can look up the price they will probably pay for your cat. They pay depending on how much of the honeycomb is left in the inside of the cat. For example if 50% of the inside is left they will pay you 50% of the catalog price.

    I hope that helps

    I was wrong when I said $20 per cat, it is $5 per cat for shipping. That was the first time that I had every tried to sell a cat. I believed them because when you look threw the cat you can see right threw it as if you are looking threw a pipe. Someone had told me that there should be a honey comb look to it when you look threw it. The first one I send in looked like it never had the honeycomb look ever and it was just a metal pipe inside with small holes in it. Although what I sent in the first time definitely looked like a cat from the outside and they even gave me a quote but, later said that they cant pay me because there was not content inside. It is stated on the terms that they will pay you full price for a full cat, half price for a half cat, and so on. So I guess that was fair. Can you explain to me what a pre-cat is please?! I hope that wasnt what I sent in the first time.
