I'm also in CA. ~8 years ago I would sell cats off our cars for $50-100... now I would expect that to probably be at least doubled. However, CA has gotten ridiculous as they always do and implemented a bunch of laws that make it hard for you to sell it, but not necessary any harder for them to be sold on the black market by thieves.
I tried to sell a cat last year; I didn't try that hard, only called one place, but was told that because I didn't have any form of licensing that they would not be able to purchase the cat from me, even though I had a registration/title for the vehicle. Maybe sell em to the black market for $100/piece? Post em on craigslist or marketplace for a sketchy parking lot sale just as CA intended.
