one of the two yards I use will buy batteries for 2 bucks each. But, I see folks on here saying they get such and such a pound for batteries. How did you all find these places that buy them that way? There's nothing like that advertised in my phone book. Word of mouth?

If you can sell a couple pallets at a time, call Exide or Interstate and find the nearest location. They might buy lesser quantity. That was for them to send a truck and pick them up. Otherwise, find a new yard. $2 is ridiculous. The least I've EVER paid was $3.50. And that was for resale to a scrap yard a couple years ago.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

Most scrap yards buy them New, any other yards you can check with in your area?

Oh, forgot. Pallet = 48 batteries.

My yard pays by the pound. Somewhere between 15 and 25c a pound.

Call around. I hoard them until I have a worthy load, as I have to take them 170 miles to get a reasonable price. Don't remember the price per pound, but they fetched $704 for 60 batteries.

If your looking in a phone book, look under core buyers, they always buy batteries, or goolge core buyers. The yard I use is paying .32 #.

I get $7.00 for a car battery, $11.00 for golf cart batteries. You might want to call some other yards.

Interstate tried to screw me. Ended up posting an ad to CL asking if anyone could beat their price. A guy contacted me and gave me a lead. I went with it and made far more than Interstate was going to pay me.
Might post an ad and see what that gets you. Good luck.
