I said I would like to get rid of some lead acid batteries. He says " how many you got, 1 or 2. I said no, about 20. He looked annoyed, then glanced around in the shop. Then just proceeded out the small door. (All doors closed). Without a word to me. My thought was is he getting something or should I follow.
