Catalytic Converters - Lets Play A Game! A Trust Game?

The Fords are about $10 each higher than what I'd get out here, the Nissan about $15 higher and the Jeeps about the same. Gotta love NorCal, higher cost of living and lower scrap prices!

.64 for aluminum wheels sounds about right. We took some in recently and I remember them bringing about $10 ea.. $15 for rims is exceptional. Convertors are always a crap-shoot because there are so many variations. I suggest showing your pics (without prices) to another convertor buyer and ask what he would pay. And next time you call a yard; ask for a per pound price on your goods. Good to let them know you're shopping around. BTW: $20 for an hours use of a tire machine is VERY generous of you and takes a big cut of your profits on the wheels. I'd figure out a way to cut back on that.

I didn't think to send that picture out - I will shoot some e-mails this evening.

I don't mind giving them $20.00 for their time and use of the machine.. I've saved thousands being able to use their facility when it comes to Maintenance =P - and if you factor in 60.00 extra by cleaning the rims, (it was $10 with a tire on it) the $20.00 an hour of my time is profitable to make another $40.00 (well supposedly)
