I don't know what scrap recyclers pay for them but looking around it appears that a catalytic converter would have 1 to 2 grams of platinum in them. Platinum is running about $1700/ounce so this would be $60 or so in just platinum and there are other precious metals in there too.
According to the articles that ($60) is the low-side of what scrap recyclers will pay for them.
