What is going on with the salvage M3 prices?

[Saturday]

I was quoted 15 w/no core.

How much of that was labor and how much was the part?

What's the market for salvage batteries?. The M3 has a 120,000 mile warranty on the battery so I can't imagine that there are a lot of them that have reached the warranty limit at this point and for those few that have are they seeing enough battery degradation to warrant spending $15K on a replacement?
