    If they have any ink/toner cartridges in them, be sure to take them to office depot or staples for credit.

    Don't you use ink and paper in your printer? Everyone can use an extra flash drive for storing info. lol

    I buy toilet paper, paper towels, packing tape, snacks, cleaning supplies... household stuff. It may be cheaper at walmart by a buck or 2, but if you have $20 free dollars a month to spend there then the stuff becomes FREE.

    what the threds say is that in most cases printers are worth no more then shred. + they are a big pain in the As* . generally not worth messing with unless you are keeping a customer happy by taking them off their hands. no they or their components ate generally not worth shipping, and not worth the fuel to haul them to the scrap yard unless you have at least a ton. im not being harsh here so dont take it personally. lets just mark it down as tough like.

    Even if you dont have a buyer now for those boards doesnt mean that you will never find one. throw them in a box clean a stick them away as a savings fund.

    Any of the printers that have memory card slots have mid-hi grade boards in them and are definitely worth more than shred price. It's all been posted before, you shouldn't have to ask.
