    Scratching my head on CATS

    So today, I got 2 Catalytic Converters. They are still connected together and I was told they were Toyota's. I sent pictures to a buyer (not on the forum) that I have used before and to a yard that deals strictly in non-ferrous, Cats and auto cores. You would think that both buyers would say they are the same types of Cats. Both said Toyota. One said they were both foreign pres. The other gave me 2 different prices for them. I asked what he was grading them as so that I could see the prices on his web site. He said low grade and half a low grade. I have to assume foreign as he identified them as Toyota. Now the prices he quoted are actually about 10% higher than his website. I guess I'll scratch my head some more and wait until I have a few more to take an hour ride either east or west.

    It's not easy to find the right value of a catalytic converter

    Find a buyer you trust and stick with him.
