    Question Printer Cartridge Buyers?

    Does anyone have input on the best empty ink cartridge buyers? I have a box of them I know they are worth a few dollars each they are a good thing to stash.

    i take mine into staples, office max, and office depot. they all give some form of store credit that is emailed to you once a month. downside you have to set up rewards program so i recommend setting up a burner email account to use just for this so your main email isnt clogged with SPAM. I use the store credit to buy shipping tape, packaging material, etc. Its easy once its set up. I think each store has a monthly limit so be sure to ask when you sign up what it is. Hope this helps.

    I personally have used this company and was pleasantly surprised with the end result. You do have a 30 day period to get paid but my small tote load netted me about 40-45 dollars more than I was expecting.

    I know local office stores do but I do not want store credit and their limit is crazy I have like enough to set the limit for the entire year.

    Once again, forum search did not show me what I wanted to know.

    Thanks for the links!!!

    Contact Us - Advantage Cartridge - Electronics and Printer Cartridges Recycling I ship these guys 150 lbs bi-monthly unsorted with anything from inkjets to toner bottles. If you have bulk they will sort for you free of charge & recycle what is not on there buying list. Also when you are shipping bulk they will buy other cartridges that are not on there list [not every one but a select few]. Most of the companies i have seen online have similar pricing. In the end, it is more about customer service & seller convience.

    Any updates on experiences? I still have a 5 gallon bucket full of them and I am now ready to cash out. I will sort for greater profit if needed. Thanks!

    I've found planet green cartridge pays pretty well with a good variety. Free shipping. The only thing is, I've found about 15-20% are rejected due to whatever issues arise in their testing. I'd guess that the case with most any buyer though.

    Good to know, I was not aware or prepared to accept rejections.

    My buddy has a grocery bag full of more of unopened new old stock printer ink, black and all colors varying makers. Kodak, cannon, HP stuff like that. No store will return them as they all haven't sold within X amount of time.

    What should he do with these new old stock ink packages?
