What we buy
We buy genuine OEM toner and ink cartridges that are new and unused — the cartridge must never have been installed in a printer. Boxes do not have to be perfect; condition affects price, not eligibility.
- Genuine HP, Brother, Canon, Lexmark, Xerox, Dell, Samsung, Epson, Kyocera, Ricoh, and OKI cartridges
- Surplus stock from printer fleet upgrades, office closures, and over-ordering
- Estate, liquidation, and warehouse lots of sealed cartridges
- Open-box cartridges where the cartridge itself is still sealed and unused
What we don't buy
- Used, empty, or refilled cartridges
- Remanufactured or compatible (non-OEM) cartridges
- Cartridges removed from their foil seal or installed in a printer
- Drum units and supplies with no resale demand (submit them anyway — we'll tell you honestly)
Box condition and price
Every cartridge is graded on the condition of its box. Be honest on your quote — our inspection grades the same way, and matching grades means the offer you accepted is the amount you get paid.
| Box condition | What it means | Effect on offer |
|---|---|---|
| Great | Sealed box, no dents, writing, tape, or labels | Highest payout |
| Good | Sealed but with minor dents, scratches, writing, or store labels | Slightly lower |
| Bad | Major dents, holes, or rips in the box | Lowest offer |
| Open box | Box is not sealed, cartridge inside is new and unused | Priced like Good |
