    If all or most had cartridges you probably would have enough ink to last quite a while if one worked.

    Yeah Mechanic, I know, but I don't have the space to keep expensive equipment. I got to move this stuff out of here before my yard becomes like Sanford and Sons...which my friends and my wife remind me, repeatedly...in a joking way, but...I won't have it. Bring it in, process it, get it out. Start over. Though, I am looking forward to my landlord cleaning her crap out of my garage...and THEN I'll have more room...garage sale and such the end of this month...she's agreed to get her stuff out...which takes up a lot of space in there...I'm excited to clean it up and rearrange the space so I can work better. Tomorrow I've got students bringing me some old computers and such from their garages...so..more stuff to find space for! Yikes...but I'm thankful. Now to figure out how to make the most of what I've got!!! That's the trick.

    ecycle group is real. They require a minimum of 20 pounds or 20 items. However, if you print out their current buy list, I end up with maybe about 25% of the cartridges they buy. Of those I end up with a smaller percent that are worth more than I can get in trade at staples or office max. It is surely worth it though.

    I have always liked the southwestern look of houses and property down there. I enjoyed the pics for two reasons, thanks!

    they mostly did off gov't, most of those got turned in simply because somebody wanted a new one. I had some last for a long time
