    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
