I have a couple yards down here that buy them for between $6 and $18. There is also another place in Westland (I believe) that buys them $10 each no matter what

My yard was buying at .25 a lb so the bigger, the better. The small car batteries I'd only make maybe 2.50 off of them but the big pickup and motor home batteries is where I'd make some good money. I'd pay 1.00 for the lawn mower/motorcycle batteries. Make a little there also. Only took them in when I'd have some other ferrous or non-ferrous load to add to it.
