Their price list shows $8 per pound for loose honeycomb, I assume this is referring to the material inside of the converters, can't imagine they would be worth more dismantled than whole at that rate?
A list would be awesome!!!! Yea I don't assume a car has a catalytic converter when I price it, but there's some that I could make money on with a tighter profit margin where otherwise i'd miss on the deal not knowing what I can get out of it. I always google the vehicle's weight and figure out what I will get from it by weight, and find out if it has alum. wheels and what-not, and factor in the drive time and expense.... Some cars I come out real good, others I just make a little on... Like Saturday I bought a Toyota Paseo, 2100# car, steel wheels, the cat was already gone.... I got a battery and some good 14" tires off of it. I drove 15 miles to get the car, and made about $100 off the deal and kept the tires. I may sell them or if they are big enough I will keep them for my tow dolly. $100 isn't a lot, but there is more than one wrecker company around here that would not charge that much to haul it the same distance I did, and my rig is paid for and my insurance is nothing compared to a wrecker, so I am glad to have made some money on it rather than pass up on it and make nothing.
