here in southern ohio prices are right about the same as mattinthehat stated above.if your area is like mine dont take them to any junk yard.around here junkyards pay 3 to 6 dollars each. we also have two independants who buy cores to re sell to a bigger core buyer and a place called the battery terminal they will pay between 10 and 13 for car and truck batteries at either of the core buyers or the battery terminal.when i get the heavy equipment batteries,they are sometimes called double batteries i always take them to the battery terminal because they will recondition some of the higher dollar batteries there.i have been paid up to 45 dollars befor for a few large battteries i got that came out of yukes.
