Buying Scrap Truck/Car Batteries in Bulk

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you fellow scrappers out there ever buy car/truck batteries in bulk to resale them for profit??
Thanks In Advance............

I have a sign in my front yard and people drop off batteries for $5.00 ea and after I have a few I haul them into the yard and receive about $11.00 ea. Just took in 5 last week,, a $30.00 profit.

1 at a time or 50 at a time....absolutely

Great, any thoughts as to where to start looking to get 50-100 at a time??
Around here I went to 21 places today and they all said they turn them in( I went to small shops and large ones too.
Found one place in florida, but they wanted to sell a metric ton and said I had to ship over seas(export).
Thanks,
Mardigras

Farm cleanups. I've bought 20+ at a time this way. I sell them 165 miles away at $10-11 a piece ($.33/lb.), So I don't go until I have a minimum of 50.

I personally don't deal with anyone overseas, I deal with people here in the USA that recycles properly.

You tell em friend.

+1 unless its to a known refiner that I know.

If you have a way to transport them, then get ahold of Mick, he sells by the trailer load.

You keep asking the same question over and over GMI. NOBODY is going to hold your hand and lead you to a magical pile of batteries that appear time and time every month. Get off the computer and do your own work.
