Old cats are worth serious money

Feb 28, 2006 7 Replies

I just got a nice surprise when taking in some scrap:



A used but complete cat made 20 pounds in scrap value !, if it is broken up apparently they still pay 10 pounds as long as about half is still there.



So well worth hanging onto and cutting off any scrappers you see lying about.

That's a bit handy. I've got 2 old but good VX 2.0L cats in the shed from when I de-catted the Carlton and Astra.. I suppose they're after the platinum? JB

Sounds like a viable business opportunity, depending on whether the local vet charges you for the cat.

Please don't steal mine in the night.

I think they re-con them, thats what I was lead to believe when I asked autovaux for a price on a new cat...

I get £10+VAT back when I take them my old CAT back.

There is a bloke down the road from me who recovers the valuable metals from old photocopiers and such, he's made enough money to buy the house next door, knock it down, build a new house (that looks like a pub), drive two Lexus's (not at the same time) and kit out the wife and kids with mercs.

Still a man who suffers from -small man syndrome- though!

Cor. My neighbour's cat keeps killing birds, and I've been itching to dismember it. Nice to know I could make 10 quid in doing so ;-)

Just in case you're not entirely joking, wanna email me your home address?

You know. Just in case.

No thanks, I can do all my dismembering for myself and don't need any help.
