    fork lift batters

    i have a chance at grabbing 2 big ass fork lift batteries from craigs. Im not sure if my yard even pays for these but if they do what could i expect to get out of them ? what about in your yard(s) http://honolulu.craigslist.org/mau/zip/2496550622.html

    Very little. As an example, I pay .12/lb for regular batteries and only .01/lb for forklift batteries. The weight is mostly steel casing.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
