A quick & easy $220.00 in the pocket might not be a bad thing. It's not making any money sitting in the shop. It's a hard call as far as PM's go. The commodities prices on some of them are all over the map.Originally Posted by alloy2

I already have slightly over 600 grams precious metals recovered from cats that has been sitting in the shop for the past two years, rather than sell for a lousy $200.00 I'm going to cut n process these as well.
Yesterday a couple of A&W burgers no fries or drink cost me $28.00 Canadian dollars.

I've eaten a few of those burgers in my youth, can't imagine them being worth near that price. 73, Mike

This converter has a least 15Kg of comb, coming off a diesel most likely using platinum as the catalysis, we know the price of platinum has fallen but still a high dollar item.
From these numbers below, I would say we're safe to assume 5 grams platinum per kg, given I have an estimated 15 kg there's 75 grams of platinum with a value of $3,143.23 CAD or $2,360.67 USD
Another thing I've learned over the years, any engine equipped with a turbo charger has extra PGM loading.
in catalytic converters the average loading concentration of PGMs is 5–7 g per kg of catalytic device depending on the size of the catalyst, the type of the vehicle and the displacement of the engine.
Yea $200.00 would look good to a man starving.
