Spark Plug Value: What We Buy & What We Don’t
At RRCats, we only buy Platinum or Iridium Spark Plugs — not copper-tipped ones.
You can tell the difference by looking at the tip shape of the spark plug:
-
No Value – Copper Tipped Only – These have a rod-shaped center electrode (flatter, wider). They do not contain precious metals and have no scrap value to us.
-
$$ Value – Platinum or Iridium – These have a fine pin-shaped tip. That’s where the platinum or iridium is — and that’s what we’re buying. These do have value and are priced by the pound.
Important: Our spark plug price per pound does not include copper-tipped plugs. Please make sure to remove them before shipping. If your shipment contains mostly copper types, your return will be reduced accordingly.
Refer to the image above to compare and easily sort your plugs.
