What we are paying this week

All prices and the calculator

Ranges updated October 1, 2026. Final price is set on inspection of the unit and its stamped code. Aftermarket units are priced separately.

1

Photograph the code

Every converter has a stamped part code. Send a photo of it, or type it into the price lookup, and we identify the unit.

2

Get a same-day price

We quote per unit from the code, not a flat rate. Ten units or five hundred, the offer is itemized.

3

Pickup or freight, then payment

Our driver collects and signs off the count with you on the spot. Larger loads go by freight. Paid by check or wire, as your state requires.

Pickup and freight

Our driver comes to you across the contiguous United States. When freight makes more sense, we send the label.

The count is signed off with you at pickup, or when a freight load arrives and is counted. Payment follows by check or wire.

Arrange a pickup
Selling legally

Every state has its own rules for selling a detached converter

Most states require proof of where the unit came from, a copy of your ID, and payment by check. We keep the records the law requires so you do not have to guess. Read the summary for your state and the link to the official statute.
