Not trying to brag, but I just picked up 36 batteries for a 30 pack of keystone light. Most of them are tractor batteries. Nice and heavy and my yard is paying $.30/pound for them. How much is everyone else getting for batteries?

I have a LOT of laptop batteries. More than a few hundred pounds. I have not talked to my yard about them yet. I did take apart a server battery backup and scored really good on that. It filled a small closet. It was around 500 lbs of batteries.
There may a million better places to live than Iowa, but none of them are home!

$12.00/EA for auto battery, $3-5/EA for the smaller ones.
