Today's caller telling me my business

Also, what about doing it for aluminum tire rims that have no rubber on them? Would it be worth it for them, do you think?

Not quite. I go to the junk yard. Get the batteries that they've taken out of cars they're scrapping and have on a pallet. They load the pallet(s) of batteries on my trailer. I store them until I have enough to sell to a core buyer (3-4 pallets). I'll more than double my money.



Aluminum rims - wouldn't hurt to ask. Figure out what an average aluminum (or steel for that matter) rim is worth, what you're willing to pay and approach a tire repair place, junkyard etc. One thing is certain - you won't get them if you don't ask.

Sorry for the late reply. That would make more sense. How much do you normally get for 3 or 4 pallets of batteries Mick?
