BatteriesPlus review: batteries

The batteries plus location in my area are buying batteries as scrap under the table, when calling the location and asking if they buy batteries they confirm they are by saying "Yes we buy them they are $8.00 a piece but only if we have the money in our drawer, so please call ahead and make sure we have the money" Not only are they embezzling money from the company to buy scrap batteries but they are doing so illegally according to the state board "Department of Commerce and insurance" A TN state license is required by law in order to buy any scrap metal, and they are buying scrap metals cause lead is a board controlled recycled metal.This is hurting local scrap metal recycling centers, as well hurting individuals who are mislead by batteries plus to sell illegally to them. Not only are the sellers at risk of persecution of the law, but so is this location for buying illegally and it needs to stop!
