    If they work, sell them. If not, there's several threads out there. Try searching for printers
    There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer

    There is a couple of places that buy some of the ink cartridges or you might take in 10 a month to Staples and get a store credit, might be other places do that also.

    If the printers have slots in the front for memory cards, then the boards are medium or high grade because of having memory on the board. If no slots then the boards are just low grade.

    I just broke down about 8 two weeks ago, I didn't get much,
    A few low grade boards,
    Some steel rods,
    One of them had a few little brass rollers
    Ink cartridges
    And 3 of them were older, a little heavier and had a nice size steel inside,

    Not much, but fun to open up with a hammer....

    Just hadn't seen any one mention actually dealing with them...the site has been mentioned a few times, but have any of you guys actually sent them cartridges and got pairs in return...
    Don't want to mail off $200 worth of empties, and get paid $50, or worse not get paid at all.

    I have used Ink Jet Cartridge for printer cartridges. They pay what they advertise though take a few weeks to send checks. They don't require a minimum number of toner or ink jet cartridges like Toner Buyer but TB will pay shipping. You could also check out Advantage Cartridge.
