Those things you take off your car for better mileage and performance, then take them to the scrapper and get mad cash..

I took 2 GM cats to scrap a month ago, and about fell over when he told me $300..  :o   Apparently the larger GM cats, and a lot of import cats have a high platinum content..  The after market cats are only bringing about $20 or so..   The last few I took only brought $128 a pop.. He was telling me the price dropped 15% after the shake rattle and roll in Japan... 

  This wasn't a run of the mill scrap yard either..  This guy specializes in scrap auto parts..   Core engines diffs, and trannies  $16/100lbs..  Alternators, starters, various dc motors, and ac compressors $0.50/lb..  Carburetors, turbos, and electronic modules vary from next to nothing up to $50 or so pending what exactly you got.. The catch is that most of the stuff has to e fairly in tact..  No headless engines!  :P
