It's all about the loading of PGMs inside the filter. Problem with big truck catalytic systems is that they aren't well known yet, which means that any pricing will be on the low end. Find the most reputable buyer in your area will be your best bet. You might be able to find some online pricing for that particular DPF, which might help you get a better price locally. I think shipping costs pretty much rule out anything not local, but I could be wrong.
Actually, the reason the new diesel converters have lower values on them right now is nobody has developed a great way to refine them yet. Something about the way they are manufactured makes it harder for the converter refiners to get the precious metal out, or maybe just more expensive. Like you said though, size definitely does not matter when it comes to converters, it is all about the contents of the bead.

Was the $200 scrap value or marketed somewhere else?
