    Hello friends! Anyone here have any recent experience selling bulk empty toner carts?

    I know there are older threads concerning this, looking for recent experiences and reviews. I know about TonerBuyer.com, iPrintMICR, usrecycleink, and a few others out there. Anybody dealt with any of these companies?

    My situation is, I have access to large quantities of empty toner carts regularly. I have been authorized to sort and sell them for a profit share if I would like to do so. I plan on only selling higher value ($3-$5+ each) HP cartridges. A glance at the top of one (!) of the several gaylords of toner on hand showed many HP 64X/64A/90X carts, so I believe this could be a worthwhile endeavor.

    Advice? Experiences? Warnings?

    Many Thanks!

    -Michael

    Not much activity on that thread https://www.scrapmetalforum.com/gene...e-buyer-9.html Not sure what people are doing. I am removing the circuit boards from the Epson ink cartages and getting rid of them as there seems to be no buyers. If you do have any luck, make sure to also post it to the thread I linked as there is a lot of information there!
    Better than the dump!

    Last time I sent in 2 gaylords I think I got paid $37. Not worth the labor or effort IMHO.

    Sadly thats about the same experience I had. The forms, inventory, pack just the way they want, etc, etc. Very little return. I'm sure I get a lot in that have some value, but cant make it work for me. On the other hand, I think there is a guy here in Atlanta that buys fusers for a lot more. They have a website that looks recent, but I cant get anyone to answer the phone or email me back. If I do I'll post it here. The new "unopened" toner gets put on ebay.
