I got one off my truck and other one just lying around. I know junkyards pay for them but i don't think they give that much. So where should i take it to that gives the most money?

depends on what kind they are. if they are OEM, not aftermarket replacements, junkyards can pay good for em. $40 bucks each or more. I turned in some about two years ago, and they were paying $45 bucks a piece for GM truck cats at miller compressing in the menomonee valley

I sold 2 pre cats (stainless) and 1 actual cat off my subaru and got $160 for them at a place in the East Troy industrial park.
