k4mrc Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I hope this is not covered already, Had a guy in who bought ALL my old watch batteries, for the silver oxide that is in them, he did not want the 2032 types but paid me £10-00 for about half the size of a coke can? this is a real money spinner to me something that I used to 'throw away', just like the guys who buy any old key blanks and brass - I cant wait for someone to buy my old leather and rubber and plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamparker Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Been doing it for years with a company called star refining in London,they supply prepaid postage bags as well. We have also had a few people in asking if they can buy our key swarf,but none have ever come back but there may be money in that as well. We also collect peoples old brass euro cylinders when they buy a new one,then cash them in at xmas time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Cobbler Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Yes, we had a visit a few months ago from a guy who bought a few years worth of old batteries from us and paid forty odd pounds, which The Boss very generously split half and half with me. Looking forward to him coming back next year. V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
