Why Selling to RRCats Is Better Than Your Local Scrap Yard

Posted: April 25, 2025

Selling your catalytic converter? Don’t settle for a quick cash offer at the local junkyard. At RRCats, we’ve built our business around one mission: making it easy to get fair, accurate, and fast pricing for your scrap catalytic converters — no guesswork, no lowballing.

Other recyclers will pay you a flat rate per unit, but they are taking advantage of your lack of knowledge about catalytic converters’ pricing.

What Local Yards Typically Offer

Sure, your local yard might seem like the convenient choice. You can drive up, drop off your converter, and walk out with cash. But here’s what most people don’t realize:

Pros:

  • Quick turnaround
  • No shipping required
  • Less hassle with verification and security

Cons:

  • Little to no grading knowledge
  • No insight into OEM value
  • One-price-fits-all approach
  • Often pay far below the true value

Why Online Experts Like RRCats Give You the Advantage

Unlike local yards, RRCats specializes in catalytic converters. That’s all we do. Our quoting team uses photos and videos to identify specific converter types and offers prices that reflect real market value.

Here’s what makes us different:

  • Remote Quotes – Snap a photo or send a video and get a quote in minutes

  • Real-Time Market Awareness – We follow platinum, palladium, and rhodium markets closely

  • Grading Experts – We understand OEM vs. aftermarket and use proven pricing models

  • Transparent Communication – We break down the value of your converter so you understand the quote

Example: Price Comparison

Let’s say you have a standard OEM converter.

  • Local yard’s offer: $100

  • RRCats may quote: $300

That’s a $200 difference, just for choosing a specialized buyer who knows what your converter is actually worth.
