Anyone here sold catalytic converters as scrap?

Has anyone here sold their old catalytic converters to the shops that recycle scrap metals?

Like in case you replaced the entire Tundra exhaust system, or swapped over to headers and new cats. I saw an ad for ADC Catalytic, over in Texas, they buy scrap converters for what looks like good money due to the precious metal content. http://www.adccatalyticconverters.com

I plan to send a pair of cats to them, wondered if anyone here had a good experience selling cats.

If the check does not bounce (not that it will) then I have sold my old cats for $102 to ADC. $51 each, nice.

My buddy owns an Auto repair shop and a guy comes buy every so often and buys the old ones off him. I hear they want what is inside.

Keep there site in handy I might have to buy some from them. One of my S&S cats just went through all it's 9 lives. I've got it on life support. Just a little FYI.
