I have decided to start this thread as sort of a database of prices we can use to follow the trends of laptop batteries over time.
The purpose of this thread is for everyone to bring together the prices they are paying for your cells. This way we can track how market trends are changing over time, and if it is a good time to buy as many laptop batteries as you can (low price)or if it's a good time to sell them (high price).
I am from the US, so I am naturally inclined to use the dollar. But I am open to other suggestions.
Here is the information you will need to state:
Location
Price per battery OR price per pound
Where you bought them. You do not have to state where you got them specifically, (I know we like to hide our sources for good reasons) but tell us what sort of place you got them from. For example, I got my batteries at a scrapyard, or I got my batteries at a computer repair store, or I got my batteries at a computer recycling center, something like that. This will allow us to know what is currently the cheapest source for laptop batteries in maximum quantities without disclosing exactly where you are getting them.

Here is mine:
I am from the US, The state of Michigan
I paid $1.25 per pound for my cells
I bought them at a scrapyard.
I can sometimes find them free from stores like batteries plus or other battery stores that also recycle batteries, but usually I only get anywhere from 5-20 batteries. By going to a scrapyard, I can get wellover 100 of them all in one go .
I don't know if this thread will be useful for anyone, but I hope it will give us all a chance to collaborate, share prices, and find the best companies to source cells from at the lowest cost.
