Ducatto catalytic converter?   
I wonder if anyone could advise me what one of these is worth?

It was taken off a 2002 Ducatto Di based Hymer, after less than 1,000 miles. 
There was a 'buzz' from the exhaust and the Fiat commercial dealership 
decided that the cat needed swapping.  However, it turned out just to be the 
way that the exhaust was hanging from the suspension rubbers.

They'd already obtained the new part, and presumably they got a good rate 
from Fiat for fitting a totally unnecessary new converter.

They gave me the 'old' one after waiting a few weeks in case Fiat required 
an audit of the job.  I then stored it in my garage 'just in case' - and 
forgot about it.

The Hymer went long ago, and I'm wondering whether to sell the cat, or just 
bin it.

At the time (2002) the part cost in the region of £400 - which was why I 
kept it.  Prices have obviously fallen since, but I can't find an ebay 
listing or similar to gauge what a fair price would be now.

So, is it worth something? - or nothing\?

Thanks

Ebay it, I bet you'll get a couple of hundred quid.
