sell catalytic converter?

subway

i heard on the radio these were worth a fortune so stole a bunch over the weekend but now i dont know what to do with them

seriously though, i had to replace one on my car and have the old one here, i keep hearing they are pretty valuable so any suggestions on where i could sell this?

One on it's own not working is not likely to get you much cash. Put it another way I bought a working secondhand one a year ago for 40 quid.

I picked up a working secondhand cat for my import Integra (so they would be relatively rare compared to other Irish cars) for about €100. Unless the cat is from something that is not easy to come by Id say its worth next to nothing if its not working.

Hmm, so why are these gangs stealing them?

At 150 a pop stolen?
Strange that no one is buying them individually legit

i might be interested in your old cat.....what is it off?pm me if you like

It's only an old one off a 206, i doubt it's worth much or anything.
Just seemed interesting that they're worth stealing but no one buys them.

Seems like something that would have the equivalent of cash 4 gold etc

My mate gets about 25 quid for a cat. Last car we scrapped was a 1998 skoda and he got 30 euro for the cat out of the scrap yard :cool:

Cool, glad to hear a bit of actual info.
Do all scrap yards take them?

Well the lad in kilcock scrapyard takes them. I'm sure they'll all take it. As far as I know they sell them on and make big money off them.

The guy in kilcock has a huge room full of them $$$$$$$:D:D:D:D
