Old Starting Batteries For Cash?

I know that I can turn them in to Advance Auto, but is there anyone that will give me cash? Have 2 big 8D and one standard.
Hate to GIVE away $$ cheap, ie chip

Perhaps a better way to make money would be to develop a "Copperhead repellant" spray, like "Snake Off" or "Snake Away". My neighbor just got bit by one that must have been agitated for some reason. Thank goodness I was inside at the time playing with my new set of drums.
I guess you could drop a battery on the snake and kill it, but a spray would be much lighter to carry around. I would say to call TC, as he is not too keen on Copperheads. I hope this is the type of info. you were looking for...

I bet you could take the battery acid out of the battery, put it in a spray bottle and spray those pesky critters when you see em. That would burn their A$$..... Need a catchy name though.

Oh, good idea Dave.
How about "Snake Pisser Offer".

actually found a pointed "Copperhead" shovel at Home Depot that would prove to be very effective.

Also found that one of my ol batteries was still under warranty and got a $34 credit against a new bat that ended up costing me less than $10!! Diesel generator now has a new start bat for less than $10.
