    I told her that the person she wants is an overseas broker for battery scrap. Too much risk for me and not enough profit margin. Once your product leaves the US, you lose the protection of US law. I don't have any experience with overseas sales and don't want it. If I'd thought there was even a chance I could get them for what I usually pay and sell them to my usual buyer, I might at least think about it. Logistics of moving that much product at once would be a nightmare although at .33/lb it would be $10890. If I could get them for the usual .15/lb, that would be $5940 minus expense. So figure MAYBE $3500.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
