My only suggestion would be to maybe shop around on price. I think you should be getting around 12/battery. Most all the yards around here are paying .35/lb. If you got over 2000lbs you don't have a problem getting .39-.40/lb. But then again location is everything. For us, being close to st louis is very helpful. You go an hour south and you have problems getting 3.00/battery from scrap yards.
