fafrd,
Here is the email I got from the place, It is 5000 lbs min. not
a ton like I said. It worked out like 7 sensors per lb. average.
It was Apr 4th 2005 when they answered me.
The Email;
Understand that the Oxygen Sensors are purchased by the pound. We must have the wiring end removed... The good news if the Oxygen Sensor is STILL purchased if you only have the stem or the threaded end....
The price is based on two things , the prevailing PGM price when delivered and the quantity.... NOTE: there is no Rh in a O2 sensor. Pt and Pd are the only recoverable metals..
At tonights pricing of Pt and Pd which is 858 and 198 and if you have 5000 pounds at our door in Salt Lake City , Utah or Orlando, Florida we will purchase at $1.75 per pound. Any lesser amount of weight the offering price will be lower. You have to give me a specific amount for us to render a specific quote. Call me for details about this and I will give you some examples....
Remember, no wires, the O2 sensor must be free from moisture, oil, antifreeze or any other foreign substance.
As for our Steel Mantle converter pricing our prices range from $5.25 to $30.00 based on our categories... They too are based on prevailing metal pricing and simply put, "If you are selling we are buying" ... again, you should call me for more specifics... epsecially when you wish to sell and we will spot you a firm quote...
We cannot and do not purchase monolith type catalytic converters. Sorry.
Thanks for your interest and thanks for viewing our website...
Regards,
Stanley Patterson
