they are still worth cash but most places that recycle them are now holding them for 2 weeks to check numbers and make sure they arnt stolen. So u u wont get any mony for it until it comes back clean.

^ Where are you going?
Shrums in Greenbrier will give you 125 for a Nissan 240 cat. and since s14s have 2 guess what?
I went back in June so unless this has started recently idk. I know there were people stealing them and selling so that might be why they hold them.

Junkyard's can't/shouldn't sell them to you. Its illegal to sell them used. That is why they get recycled.Jose-Aka-Pedro said:

every time i post a damn car for parts on craigslist, the same dude emails or calls askin for the catylitic converter- i now put the
phase "no catylitic converts or recycleable parts here" in all my parts car ads..
if you want cash quicker- put it on craigslist- there's people who spend all day every day lookin for scrap converters and other recycleable parts/metals- you might not get what you could by taking it somewhere yourself- but if you don't know where to go, maybe this is better........and you won't have to wait.
be warned - SOME these folks that do this type of work to feed their family will try to bulldog you.
smaller the car motor-smaller the converter=less than you'd expect. what car is it off of?

was trying to say not to expect big bucks- yeah something instead of lettin it sit is way better than nothin- butCalmoc9 said:
crx= that converter will only bring $30-50 bucks depending on the condition- they check 'em and if the core's not in good shape, they'll probably won't even take it.
:roll: ok simpleton, i'll explain- bulldog=bully=BOLD/BIG BALLS. that's just a term i use for dumbass bullies- these guys that bother me won't hardly take 'no' for an answer when they call. they call/email asking,,,,, no DEMANDING- after reading that i don't sell mine- then i have to unleash the alter ego on 'em :wink:
last year- a dude came to look at parts on a dsm- not buying anything,he left...then we caught him out by the cars at 2am the next morning with a hacksaw and hand torch- f'n looser or desparate dad- who knows... but i bet he'll never step foot in this area again.
fyi- don't take 'em to Dickson/Vandlree(sp?)- you'll get robbed or at best- waste your gas and leave totally pissed.
