I have gotten 2 calls this week by people wanting converters for scrap. Is it possiable mine are empty? I'll sell them to someone if they are worth it.

Catalytic converters on the black market, or "blackcats" as they're called on the street, have become a growing problem to jehovah's witnesses ... I mean, law abiding citizens.

I guess I am not understanding the question. Why would your CATs be empty. If you are wanting to sell them, I'm sure your local scrap/junk yard pays top dollar for the platinum inside. My company has a customer sells scrap CATs to a steel mill. We haul the recycled converters that have been cut in half and had the platinum removed in dump trailers to the steel mill. I was told that once enough platinum is removed, it is loaded on a truck and that the value of that truckload is worth over a million dollars!! WOW:eek:

I just have a feeling there is no platinum left in mine. If you bang on them with a hammer, they sound hollow and you hear a few small pieces of something moving around in there.

I got $150 per cat for the 93 740 at the scrap yard and $250 per 750 cat for selling them to a guy in Ohio where they don't have an emissions check but just see that it is there. Don't ever let your shop say that they can't let you have the old cat because they will recycle it for you because they are making money on the new cats and then selling the old ones to the scrap yard.:mad

blown out ones...$0...full ones around what he said..or at least that's what i can pay for them

I have some cats in the garage from an audi. now lets see what i can get for them. hmmmm...
