Been using them for years for laptops, and cartridges. They also take digital camera, and other miscellanea electronics. Importantly, they cover shipping.

Around July 24th I had to go to Ft Wayne In. to the VA Hospital for a DR. appointment. I took an accumulation of cartridges and 4 toners with me to drop off at Advantage on my way home. Now this companies policy is 30 day to pay so if your looking for quick cash then this is not it. I had a smaller tote (about 1x1x2') full and a handful of misc. thrown into a plastic sack. I stopped in last week (Aug 20) to check progress on my check as my mail carrier (sub) occasionally put the mail in wrong boxes.

They told me that the check would be here this week (approx.Aug 25) and I get home from dialysis and there's a check waiting on me. $95.75 just like they promised. Now I didn't really take too much care with the carts. putting them into the tote as back then I didn't have anywhere to ship them that sounded promising (see above). They paid on 40 good ones, I had 12 bad and 14 not on list. I also had 2 new toner carts. they paid $9.ea. for. This was about $50. more than I had figured.
I am ready to start fresh, and I will use them again. If you want a good return for your work then you might want to check them out.

I started working with these guys this year and i will say they have been great. I send 100-150 lbs each shipment & they do all the sorting for us plus provide a prepaid label. Triad-ecycle

Welcome. We have an ongoing thread going about ink buyers and store programs. I will not post it here as this is your thread. If you have time look at it, as a buyer you can see the concerns, issues and other things that have come up when people here try to turn in ink to quite a few ink companies. It is great to have a ink buyer who is a member here. With your input and help you could do real well buying from members here.

**mrsamsonite** · 12-16-2014, 11:24 AM

It is nice to have an ink buyer to take the time to become a member and participate in the forum. There has been an on going search for a trustworthy cartridge recycler for a long time. There are many members here with hundreds of cartridges looking for a place to turn them in. Welcome Advantage Cartridge and Im am willing to give it a shot and send a load once I have enough. Thanks

Well here goes nothing.......Bought out a whole Lab full of printers a couple months ago.........What I didn't use or re-sale I scrapped.......I saved most of the toner and happens some of them are paying $5-$6 each according to their site.........I filled out the registration forms and today received my pre-paid postage in the mail........Not alot I'm sending perhaps $40?.......Don't really like the 30 day wait but that's ok figured I'll give em a try........Will post review in a few months when I get the check......Only sending because Mechanic and a few others gave nice review and they pay postage.........Not sure about 30 days though I could be dead or the world could end before I get paid but if this doesn't happen I might get a few extra bucks in my pocket......THANKS AGAIN

Mikeinreco.. net 30 is pretty far out in the scrap buisness for sure, but I will say the last couple of shipments that I have sent have been processed and paid faster than net 30. I spoke with Gregg the owner of the company a few days ago and even with the weather bad he was there solo trying to get orders processed. I highly recommended!

If your results with this company are not satisfactory then you should post a review here. Some members will not look elsewhere for a review. From what I have read here and the other thread it looks like people are better off getting a credit at Staples than dealing with any buyers of empty toner/printer cartridges. Cannot recall one buyer who has been uostanding and truthful that has joined this forum. Looks like the above buyer will be falling into that same category.

**hobo finds** · 02-14-2015, 06:23 PM

Still waiting for a check for the $15.65

**BRASSCATCHER** · 02-14-2015, 07:53 PM

Buyer hasnt been here since 12/16/14.

Funny thing.....I emailed them about my shipment and they said it was worth $15.55..........I know for a fact it should have been around $40.........Still waiting for the breakdown of the items I sent but this seems to be an issue............Has anyone found a reputable ink buyer.....LOL

**hobo finds** · 02-18-2015, 02:31 PM

Not yet!

**Victor** · 02-18-2015, 08:12 PM

I sent them a shipment that was received 1-27-15 according to my account. 72 inkjets. According to the price list I sent with the package detailing what I had and how many.....should have been $78.80 in value. No response yet. Will let you all know when/if anything comes of this.

**mikeinreco** · 02-18-2015, 08:34 PM

I guess until further notice I would proceed with caution using this buyer
