You are probably better off selling them and buying platinum or palladium with the money, if that is what you want. Unless this is more of a hobby effort. If that is the case make sure you understand all the safety concerns. And study how to do it on the forum, or buy Lazer Steve's DVD on how to do it.

Those numbers are decimals of a percent of the ceramic weight - ie the weight of Pt is 1400 grams * 0.00175, which would be 2.05g of Pt. Are these number still applicable, or how accurate were they to begin with? Who knows. You're in a good position to get together 1000 cats worth of ceramic. Grind it up, have a sample assayed, take it and have it processed. I don't think you'll likely lose over selling to a buyer, if you do your homework. If they buyers consistantly lost money, they couldn't keep buying, unless the cat business is getting puffed up with laundered money or something like that...
if so little, no reason to buy them, but 1st level people pay 100 and 130, same everywhere after that resale 2, 3rd and recover them i add 2 more pic from same catalog , also if calculate that you will see people pay 45% of value on 1st level, check prices on ebay also
