    Warsaw , Ind. In the heart of the lakes, and down the street from the hotel where Al Capone stayed.

    Go back to the first post and start from there. He explained some of it there.
    Personally, I have a small (reality size) sign in my front yard that reads that I buy batteries, and the price. People stop by and drop off batteries, anywhere from 1 to 4 at a time. I don't even have to pick them up. I pay 1.50 for garden tractor/motorcycle and $ 4-5 for car/truck batteries.
    I get from $ 5 to 10-12 when I sell depending on size.

    Anywhere you can find them. For me, common places are junk yards, repair shops (especially the smaller, rural ones), construction companies, forest harvesters (wood cutters) and any place where there is a lot of equipment sitting around.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
