ok, hes asking where he can go that actually takes the "precious metals" out, so that he can get the max amount of cash for them instead of selling them to the middle man that will sell them to company that takes the "precious metals" out.

I think its usually metal scrap yards that take those. I would just bust out a phone book and call around.

There are only a few people that know the best place to take them to and none of us will tell. I will give you a fair cash offer on them. I can tell you that $180 for a set of ls1 cats is high and will never sell for that. Just like you parting out cars for a profit I always make a profit also.

lol. it doesnt take a genius to figure out where to take them. "middle men" stop by my shop weekly wanting cats, copper, and alum. 90% of them are full of ****. so what's your fair offer?

They buy pretty much anything metal. We sell ours by the ton to a guy in Alabama that hoardes them until he gets offered what he thinks they are worth.
