HI all! Long time no been here. I hope all are doing well.

Only 20 days till Oct. 3rd. and I got my precious metals collection all ready to go. 8lbs. of size #4 bismuth shot loaded 1 ounce at a time into 28 gauge, about 2lbs. Bismuth size BB loaded 1-3/8 once at a time into 12 guage, a couple boxes of 12 guage steel #2 just in case, and couple hand rolled shells with tungsten. My skiff is starting to rot a bit but I got it all patched up for the season and the motor has been serviced. Fall chores are mostly completed. Wings will cup and birds will fall, human stomachs will be satisfied. It will be glorious!

Morning bart. Looks like some new storms lining up out there. I saw one projection coming my way. We could use the rain.

Rhodium sponge is at $11,000 a toz., which works out to $350 a gram. Palladium is about $2,200 a toz, and platinum is hovering at about $1,000.

My friend purchased a barn and its contents a couple months ago, and inside the barn we located several automobile exhausts complete with catalytic converters. One of them is from an early 90's Japermoblie when Japan had higher emission standards than US. The honeycombs inside this particular cat.con. are composed of platinum group metals, mostly platinum but also rhodium and palladium.

Anyways my friend said he would split the scrap value if I scrapped it for him. I got offered $300, talked it up to $450. The guy I sold it to will double his money selling it to a refiner, and the refiner will most likely double his money too.

wow....i had no idea !!

If the server brought the correct order to begin with I wouldn't need to repeat my self.

I did a few 4x4x5ft cages of cats. every month on the average. Sold to a dealer in NY-until the dude wasn't able to cross the border any longer.
Switched to a Canadian buyer and stuck with him for 10yrs. He used to show up with a stack truck full of cats. 16ft long x 8ft wide x 5ft walls imagine what that truck would worth at today's prices.
I was paying a good dollar back then /92-2006 and the most I received was $75 for a foreign cat.

I never begrudged what the other guy got/gets for what I sold/sell. If they buyer meets my price I'm good with that.

But I don't like it when something is worth $X.XX and the local market depresses the prices to the point of ripping the consumer off.
Local market pays $3.00-$25.00 for a cat. right now. They knock off $75 if the scrap car has no cat, another $25 if the battery is gone.

I now of 40 older cars and trucks at two locations-time to make a deal I'm thinking.

I used to think there was nothing worse to stink up your house than frying fish. I now know dehydrating onions is worse.

PepperJ, sell your rusty dirty cats and trade them for shiny silver maple leafs. : )

I'd cut the cat off my truck but I got an emissions test coming up.

That's ok, Pepr. Nobody listens to you anyway. At least, not the first time around.

Must be a thing going around this world.

Perfect example of what I mean:

Going to paint the shed green.
Sanding the shed for the new green paint.
Well I bought the green paint today.

Then you get a reply: What's the paint for/what are you going to paint?

Superficial world..........

Buddy has at least a dozen older Benz's sitting out in the fields. Always strapped for the extra $$$ to make life a tad easier. I should see what I can do for him.

We finally got rid of our emission testing here in Ontario.

WD,

A little kitchen trick worth a try for absorbing cooking odors....put some white vinegar in a small bowl and it acts as a sponge to take away the strong smells.
