Look in the "parts wanted" section. There are at least 2 guys in there that regularly buy new/used stock cats for most cars. I sold my cats for around 140. Shipping was only like $8 or so.

there are several on this board that do that. I shipped my stock cats to this guy..

https://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-wanted/894778-wtb-top-dollar-catalytic-converters-cats.html

he paypaled me the money in the same day he got them. I just cut the flanges off the cats so they could fit in a small box and left my Paypal Address in the box.
