Catalytic Converters- Reliable and Experienced Buyer

Sparrow Metals is buying all types and grades of scrap automotive and diesel truck catalytic converters. We offer competitive pricing, unbeatable customer service and accurate, HONEST grading.

We will gladly help with identifying and pricing any converter(s) for any forum members. However, in order to SELL us any converters, you must qualify as a business account. This requires a verifiable physical business address and also some type of business ID number issued by your state. We apologize for any inconvenience to our non-business members- The business account requirement for converter purchases is Pennsylvania state law.

Pricing and grading information can be found on our website, Home Page. You may also text pictures, OEM numbers and other converter information to us at 717-437-0901, and we will get back to you as soon as possible with an up-to-date price quote.

Being here for six months now, I have had the pleasure of talking with many of our members who have small, independent metals-related businesses, much like my own. I know many of you guys have good, reliable core buyers, and that is great. For those whose businesses either need a buyer or maybe just need a new buyer for your converters, I will do my absolute best to make you happy, make you money, and earn your trust and business.

Members who deal with us, please post feedback and let us (and the whole SMF community) know how we're doing. Thank you for reading.

Best Regards,

You have provided a resource that will be very valuable to many members. Up to now, cats were sold at a straight price to the scrap yard, regardless of their value. Thank you and hope to make contact with you in the near future.

Just Wanted to say I sent my cat off to Jim and all is s promised!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't get many if any cats but he paid what was quoted and check was sent.

He dose require you to be a business but that real easy to do with your state.

Thanks!!!!!!

Just wanted to drop a bump and state that I recently had a transaction with SparrowMetals. Went smooth, dropping the check in the bank today.

Thank you to all members who have done business with us, we appreciate it!

There are many ordinary-looking converters that we pay very high prices on. It is not unusual for us to get GM Breadloaf converters that we pay $160 for (a few go even higher), and we are currently at $170 on one of the most common Large Flow GM converters of all. Hyundai pre-cats have a real value range of $10 to over $160...Yes, several fairly common Hyundai pres are worth big bucks, as they are heavily loaded with Palladium. Many core buyers don't even know this, and these valuable converters are commonly bought and sold for $30 or less as simply a "foreign pre". We will be glad to help any forum members identify their good material.

We price each converter based on its actual value- No games, no "averaging", and no lumping $60 and $180 units into the same grade just because they look like each other. High prices on a paper price sheet mean nothing without proper grading.

Contrary to what buyers who are stuck on the "old way" will tell you, selling your converters based on actual values will net you a better overall payout. Think of it this way- When a load of processed converters goes to the refinery, the seller is paid a percentage on the ACTUAL value of the precious metals recovered- Not by groups, categories or averages. A decade ago, most core buyers HAD to buy by groups and averages, it was pretty much the only way you could buy converters. Only the refineries really knew what was what. That was then, this is now. With the information and technology that is widely available today to accurately value virtually any converter, there is (in our opinion) no longer any justification to buy and sell converters the "old" way.

Thanks for listening to my yakking :) Hopefully, it will benefit someone. Again, a big thanks to our SMF member customers! ~Jim

Quick question, will a Canadian business work for selling you a converter?

Sparrow Metals,

What are Bosal cats worth? I have some small ones and regular size ones.

Thanks for your input.

I have a half dozen assorted converters I would like to sell if you are still buying. I can send pics / numbers from them for a quote ?

Sparrow Do you buy scrap car computers and such?

I would use his number. He gets texts too.
