I'd set a record last trip with a load of copper and brass - $750. Today, set another record - 2520 lbs of car parts and more copper, aluminum, brass and a couple of catalytic converters - $957.41.
Today's load:

Nice job there Mick...Well done you!
Awesome! Git r dun.... The back window broken out of your truck, or does it just look black?
nice haul mick!
Not broken. That's how it came new. Has a sliding back window. Never really noticed how dark it is. Just noticed that I'd made a mistake - it was 1520 pounds; not 2520.Quote:

Hard to tell. Some of the copper is stuff I've had around a couple years. Other stuff, I got this month. Some stuff I've still got is recent, too. I don't haul in any order; just get a load together and haul it in.
Way to go!
Nice haul Mick!
It's always nice to beat your own best. Hope to do it a couple times myself this summer!
Ive heard catalytic converters are good money but ive never taken them. What do they pay there and how do you have to prepare them?
You don't do anything to prepare them unless you mail them to a buyer. Then you cut the pipes as short as possible to save mailing costs. Value varies greatly, by type. They go from a couple dollars for an "aftermarket" to a couple hundred dollars for exotics. You need to be very good at identification before buying cats. I thought I was pretty good and still misidentified an Aftermarket as a Large Ford because rust masked some marking. "Education costs".Quote:

So guys do I just take the Cats in to the yard and they will give me a separate price for those alone? Thx
Nice haul! So Kris Kringle, where do you tale your cats then?
What part of Texas are you in?Quote:

Yea I just saw. A few weeks ago they had some good things on there. I am going to be picking up a few items here in dallas. I make a nice penny off of them.
