Scrapping Vehicle Batteries?

**Mechanic688** · 01-26-2014, 07:42 PM

I put a "realtor style" sign out in my front yard that stated "I buy batteries, car, truck, $5.00 each. I'd have people stop by with them, occasionally there would be one or two that someone would just drop off to have them recycled properly. I didn't get rich with them but I did have a couple/few every week to take in. Best thing was, I didn't have to go anywhere to get them.

That would be nice to do. If i could, i would. For now, im stuck with going out to pick them up and praying they have a couple for me. Looks like ill start paying out $5 instead now. See how it works this time

I'd recommend no more than half the going price you expect. Leave yourself room for price to drop.
