Cat theft
ben_haynes:
last time we weighed our cats in we got £25 a cat yesterday another trader got £50 a cat
Range Rover Blues:
£50 a cat is about right, they are worth a lot more if they are OEM not replacement which are worth £10 (makes you think :-k).
TBH any scrappy taking brand new cats in must know they are dodgy, they just don't care and if they have a waste licence to dismantle cars then those few will always take the risk of handling stolen ones.
As they say, where there's muck there's brass, never more true than in the scrap trade.
ben_haynes:
we get the same price for OEM or Replacment ones (but we only remove them if they are faulty)
S188:
So next time I weigh in a car I should cut the cat off it first and weigh that in separate? Is it metal dealers who give you £50 for them or breakers? I've found breakers give you nothing for a 10 year old MOT failure but the local metal dealer gave me a little over £100 for an escort last month - definitely worth cutting the cat off if that's an extra £50
