Used cat's are not worth much - even in Nazi emissions-friendly Commiefornia. eBay sells used cat's for $75-$150. Of course, you might get lucky and find someone who is willing to pay more but that is not typical.

As for the scrap value of the platinum - while there are several GRAMS of this exotic material in a cat (28 grams per ounce), when the recovery cost is included in the equation, the materials recovery value from a used cat isn't exactly a gold mine (and hence, why they sell for $75-$150 on eBay).
